Albright decided to run for county commissioner in District 2 when current board chairman Bob Vogel opted against seeking a third term.

He said he thinks government by its nature is rigid and needs to be more flexible. Without a business competitor to increase efficiencies, he said, the county board must be that pressure on behalf of taxpayers.
