The race

The Salt Lake Tribune's June 2026 report on the Washington County Commission Seat A contest identifies Koske as the Democratic challenger who would face the Republican primary winner in November. That winner was incumbent Gil Almquist, who is the other name on the November ballot for the seat. [1] [2]

BallotReady shows Koske as a candidate for Washington County Commission Seat A in both the June 23 primary round and the Nov. 3 general election. Her profile does not list a work history, education or issue statements, so none are summarized here. The seat's issues in the Tribune's debate coverage were property taxes, tourism tax spending, housing density in unincorporated areas and budget transparency; that coverage quotes the two Republican candidates, not Koske.
