?I have been proud to serve as 5th District County Commissioner for the past 3-1/2 years,?

Yancy said. ?I serve on the Health and Welfare, Policy and Personnel, and Animal Oversight committees, as well as the Airport Commission.?
Yancy believes in maintaining an efficient and cost-effective county government.
?I am a lifelong resident of Warren County and am committed to keeping our property taxes low,? Yancy said. ?I have been married to my wife, Melissa Yancy, for 29 years and we have one daughter, Tiffany, who is in college.
