Krulitz To Run For Another Term

Veteran Shoshone County Commissioner Sherry Krulitz, who has become the high-profile chairman of the commission, will seek re-election.

Krulitz, a Democrat who got her political feet wet on former Gov. Cecil Andrus’ 1974 campaign, began her current term in 1993. Before that, she was on the commission from January 1987 to January 1991.

Krulitz is a former Pinehurst city clerk and Shoshone County treasurer. She’s managed the Whispering Pines housing project in Pinehurst since 1984.

She sits on public lands committees for the Idaho Association of Counties and the National Association of Counties. About three-fourths of Shoshone County is public land.

She also sits on councils and committees for children, solid waste and environmental restoration from mining. She’s a former deacon on the church council of Our Savior Lutheran Church.

Krulitz is married to Art Krulitz, transportation director at Shoshone School District 391. The couple and their two daughters have lived in Pinehurst for 24 years.

Archie Hulsizer, recently named acting mayor of Wallace and a retired banker, will serve as treasurer for Krulitz’s campaign. , DataTimes
