FULTON COUNTY — Troy L. Cowles announces his candidacy for the 2022 Fulton County District 2 Commissioner seat in the May 3 primary election. A lifelong resident, Cowles will use his experience and integrity to bring unity to Fulton County. Sculpted by his family values, Cowles lives by the core belief his grandfather instilled in him as a child, “All you own is your handshake and your word, don’t waste it.”

Growing up working and later helping to manage his family’s Fulton County business, Cowles Sand & Gravel, he learned the value of working together toward a common goal with effective collaboration. Cowles’ business knowledge grew and benefited multiple companies where he managed not only assets, but the rights of the workers around him earning their trust and confidence by always leading by example.

Cowles will tackle the issues facing Fulton County residents today with his ability to work with others and create a dynamic of cooperation between all the entities involved. He knows the residents of Fulton County need and deserve to have county-wide fiscal responsibility, investment in the generational future, and a balanced approach to economic growth through cooperation of the incorporated areas and residents.

He will fight to prioritize the importance of helping families, schools, workers, and small business recovery and growth. Cowles will work tirelessly to ensure the investment in Fulton County’s future by bringing in fresh ideas with candor and decisiveness. He is committed to embracing a bipartisan effort to maintain focus not only on the county seat, but on Fulton County as a whole. Community leaders from all incorporated areas within the county will be invited to sit at the table to develop growth plans that will showcase and utilize each of their individual assets and benefits.

Cowles, a lifelong outdoorsman, has donated his time and resources to groups such as The National Wild Turkey Federation, Ducks Unlimited, and Pheasants Forever sharing his love for the outdoors with mentorship of youth who have the same passion.

Cowles and his wife Casi have three boys and own land in Richland Township, as well as two tree farms in Rochester Township. Cowles and his family take pride in their stewardship for land conservation always trying to take only memories and leave nothing but footprints. Together as a family they own White Pines Kennel, where they raise English and American Labrador Retrievers with hunting pedigrees and are excited to expand the business in the future to include training and boarding opportunities.
