The Washington County Commissioners have appointed Steve Campbell as the next County Assessor.
Campbell has been the head field appraiser for the Assessor's Office for two years. He's originally from Bartlesville and has lived in the area his entire life. Prior to joining the Assessor's Office, Campbell spent nearly 20 years as an assistant manager for Lowe's.
Campbell says he's grateful for the opportunity to serve the citizens of Washington County.
Campbell will replace County Assessor Todd Mathes on Nov. 1 and will fill the remaining portion of his term through 2026. Mathes, who was appointed in 2001 and ran unopposed for all other elections, made the decision to retire. He announced his retirement in February.
State law dictates that County Commissioners of counties with less than 600,000 people appoint elected county officials, instead of holding a special election, if a person leaves office prior to the end of their elected term.
