County Assessor

Boone County Assessor and southern district County Commissioner races tonight

COLUMBIA - Last night's Boone County candidates forum closed with an easy "softball" question from an audience member: If elected, would candidate Barbara Bishop be Boone County's first female assessor? Bishop responded first: "I would love to set history. I'm probably the first female candidate. So we're probably making history here tonight."

Incumbent Tom Schauwecker thought the answer was probably yes and then pointed out that the majority of county officials are already female, listing the many women he's worked with in his 19 years as assessor.
