About Jim Dvorak
Election Day
May 5, 2026
Vote to Re-Elect Jim Dvorak for Geauga County Commissioner.
Background
A Proven Conservative Leader for Geauga County
In 2018, Jim Dvorak came to the residents of Geauga County asking for their support for County Commissioner. Thanks to that support, he was elected — and together we have been able to make the best better.
When Jim and his wife moved to Geauga County forty-four years ago, they fell in love with the "Geauga Way of Life." His goal as Commissioner has always been simple: ensure that the next generation is able to find the same amazing communities, parks, and people that drew his family here all those years ago.
Through supporting local communities, expanding resources for our safety services, and the diligent use of taxpayer dollars, Jim has helped build a stronger Geauga County — all while reducing property taxes for residents. After eight years serving as Commissioner, Jim is now asking Geauga County voters to support him for a third term.
“My guiding principles have always been service above self. From completing our new County Office Building, to continuing to protect our rural setting, to supporting our first responders, we are well on our way to ensuring the Geauga Way of Life is preserved.”— Jim Dvorak
Jim would be honored to continue his service to the people of Geauga County as your County Commissioner.
