Bill Wysong serves District 3 on the Board of County Commissioners. His district encompasses almost the entire western portion of El Paso County along I-25. District 3 includes the westside and downtown areas of Colorado Springs, as well as the City of Manitou Springs, the Towns of Green Mountain Falls, Monument, and Palmer Lake and the unincorporated areas of western El Paso County including Ute Pass. The district is also home to national icons Pikes Peak and Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Base.
Bill moved to Colorado Springs in 1986 for an employment opportunity. Bill graduated from the University of Oregon after proudly serving in the United States Navy. As a small businessowner, home inspector, and a former product manager for large and small companies, Bill brings a unique perspective on the regulatory conditions it takes to help businesses thrive. His priorities include public safety, responsible growth, and parks.
Prior to his election to the Board of County Commissioners in November 2024, Bill was active in City of Colorado Springs and El Paso County issues. Bill’s neighborhood lost 364 homes in the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire which also affected residents in western El Paso County.
