About Tom Lamar

Latah County Commissioner

I have served as your Latah County Commissioner since January 2015, re-elected in 2016 and 2020.

Experienced Decision Maker

I served on the Moscow City Council, various commissions, foundations and task forces.

Respected Leader

Elected officials trust me with organizational leadership roles within the state of Idaho and national levels.

Integral Part of Latah County

Since 1990, I have been the executive director of Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI).

I am proud to serve all the people of Latah County.

Every day I work on a range of issues brought to me by our residents, such as: promoting fair and affordable housing, preserving open space, enhancing mental health services, supporting our workforce with childcare options, and protecting drinking water in our communities.

I will continue to inspire other elected leaders in our region to act on our shared values, collaborate effectively to solve problems, and provide much needed services.
