Roger has been active in community service for many years. He has been a member of the County Board of Health for 10 years. He is involved with the Countywide Zoning community planning committee and represents the Health Board on the Streamside Setback Committee. |
| He represented Victor on the County Growth Policy, worked on the Highway 93 focus group and helped develop the Victor Park District. He was part of the Forest Consensus council and is a strong advocate of finding the common ground in the community among diverse viewpoints. |

In his free time, he and Nancy like to hike, ski and backpack and work in their garden. Roger also likes to volunteer in the public schools. |
| "I am a strong believer in the need for public service. It is not necessarily a fun job, but I believe I have skills and a temperment that would be valuable to the Commissioner's office. You can count on my honesty, hard work and commitment. I am a good listener, have the skills and determination to research an issue, and the courage to implement a fair and reasonable solution to a problem." |

to research an issue, and the courage to implement a fair and reasonable solution to any problem." |

Roger supports the current planning and zoning efforts. He believes that the County's growth can be a valuable thing for local jobs and economy, but it needs to be managed so that taxpayers do not wind up paying for unintended consequences. |
| "You will hear me say over and over that what our County needs is predictability and consistency, fairness and sound logic, and accountability. We need appropriate regulations that let everyone know what the rules are, and that make it easy to work with the County. We also need good enforcement and accountability from all sides." |
 |
 |
Roger De Haan said that he looks forward to the campaign process and meeting as many people as possible. "In Ravalli County we need to have healthy debate on contentious issues in a constructive way that maintains common decency and respect." |
|
"You can
count on my honesty, hard work and commitment."
