“We have a long history with Luther, we endorsed him in his first election and, since becoming county commissioner, he has been an incredible advocate for firefighters. Everything from air quality in the station to our recent push in the county for fair and equitable wages — he was our number one supporter in all of those.
Going forward, we are especially backing Luther because of his strong support for housing the workforce. We face a huge challenge recruiting and retaining qualified people to be in our department because of a lack of workforce housing. His work for housing that is truly affordable for local workers is a big plus for us.”
Austin Sessions,
President, IAOF Local 5067

"I strongly believe that Luther's election is vital for the protection of public lands, wildlife, parks, forests, and refuges of Teton County. These natural assets of Teton County are the foundation of a healthy economy for the residents of the county."

During my time as President of what is now “Protect Our Water JH,” Luther was instrumental in helping us raise awareness of this issue and begin to generate support.

As always, there are some great candidates running for the Commission, and I encourage you to check them all out (and most importantly, vote!), but please consider Luther for County Commissioner as I can promise you he'll be better at serving our community than he is at skiing."

Luther is that candidate and I look forward to casting ballot for his re-election."
