BOISE, Idaho — Rep. Muffy Davis of Ketchum will become a Blaine County commissioner in 2022.
Gov. Brad Little's office announced Friday that the governor has appointed Davis the seat being vacated by Jacob Greenberg, who is leaving the Blaine County Commission at the end of this month. Davis will serve the remainder of Greenberg's term, which ends in January of 2023.
Davis, a Democrat, is currently in her second term in the Idaho House as a state representative for District 26. The governor's office said Gov. Little will appoint a replacement for that seat before the Idaho Legislature's 2022 session begins in January. The new representative will be selected from nominees submitted by the Democratic Party in District 26.
Davis has won seven Paralympic medals in alpine skiing and cycling, including gold in the 2012 London games as a cyclist in the team relay, individual time trial and road race; silver in three alpine skiing events at the 2002 Salt Lake games; and bronze in slalom skiing in the 1998 Nagano games.
The Wood River High School and Stanford University graduate remains active in the Olympic and Paralympic movement.
