Commissioners Continued from page A-I 51.69 percent. Jeffreys said she is looking forward to working with individual department heads in the county in order to under- stand the budget. "I appreciate the voters' confidence in me," Jeffreys said. "I'm eager to get to work and will be working hard to get up to speed on the issues coming up in De- cember." Jeffreys will take office on Nov. 27 since she is filling the expired term of Jerry Lin- gle, who was elected in 2010, and died in office in August 2012.
