Politically neutral. Every candidate on this ballot gets the same sections. The party shown is the one the ballot lists. A section is missing only where we haven't yet found an official source for it. How we stay neutral
Beesley beat incumbent Commissioner Sharon Bolos in the Republican primary for Seat B. With 99.5% of ballots counted, he had 13,004 votes (55.57%) to Bolos's 10,398 (44.43%), the Standard-Examiner reported on June 25. Bolos conceded. [2]
The county's official notice lists him as the only candidate for Seat B on the November general election ballot. [3]
What he said he would do
Beesley told the Standard-Examiner editorial board the commission has lost touch with cities and residents. His top priority, he said, is helping cities with regional projects by lending county engineers instead of asking cities for money. [1]
On growth, he said the county should not pay about $20 million for sewer infrastructure that developers should fund, as Plain City required of developers. He supports mixed residential zoning with 1-acre lots and wants to protect horse property and rural lifestyles. [1]
He called for town halls and more open debate at commission meetings, and said the county lacks youth recreation programs, which nearby cities end up subsidizing. [1]
Budget record as mayor
Beesley said he saved nearly $5 million over eight years managing Plain City's budget, which averaged about $4.5 million a year. He also cited private-sector management of up to 260 employees and ownership of a glass business. These are his own statements to the newspaper. [1]
Profile sources

A 2025 State Auditor review confirmed that some Plain City event and concession payments were collected through employees' or volunteers' personal payment-app accounts, with no receipt records. The auditor agreed the risk of significant loss was low. The city said it moved to a city-controlled account.
