Shoshone County Candidate Profile: Dawn Wiksten (D) PC Kingston

Full Name: Dawn Wiksten 

Age: 67 

Political Affiliation: Democrat 

Precinct: Kingston 

What do you see as the primary responsibilities of a Precinct Committeeman and why are you interested in serving in this position?   

I view my position within the election process as Kingston Precinct Captain as a chance to educate other voters on the issues we are faced with locally going into the coming years. Hopefully, to make them aware of our unique challenges and opportunities. I have voted for Democrats, Republicans and Independents in all elections. I see my responsibility as a PC as someone who can serve the community and offer insights I have gained from numerous sources to better help them in their election choices. 

How would you work to engage voters, support party organization, and represent your precinct's concerns at the County or district level?   

My goal is to meet one on one with voters, or in meet and greets to answer questions about the District and County in which we work and play, in order to elect Candidates who bring us their best unbiased service and care to the county, as well as the progress we need to keep up with surrounding counties and the needs of our community.  There are solutions for most of our problems here.  We just have to buckle down and manage it for the decades to come. I want to continue to help with all I can to bring the best officials forward.
