Meet Lee Gregoire
Lee is a husband, father, veteran and working professional who calls Twin Falls County home.
After serving 24 years in the United States Army, with assignments in infantry and special operations units with multiple GWOT combat deployments, Lee retired and chose to build his family's life in Twin Falls in 2017. During his military career, he also served as an Army recruiter, working directly with families and mentoring future service members. His military service shaped how he leads: steady under pressure, accountable for results, and focused on doing the job right.
Today, Lee works in the dairy industry in Jerome, overseeing production operations within one of the region's key agricultural sectors. Through both military service and private industry, he has learned the value of disciplined budgeting, long-term planning, and clear accountability. Lee holds a Bachelor's degree in Organizational Management from the University of Arizona.
Since settling in the Magic Valley, Lee and his family have put down roots and become active members of the community. He understands firsthand the importance of safe neighborhoods, strong local businesses, and responsible county leadership.
Lee and Jessica have been together for 15 years. They met while serving in Iraq and are both veterans. Jessica grew up in the Magic Valley, and together they are raising their children in Twin Falls County. Their family is active in local schools and youth programs. Like many families in this community, they care deeply about public safety, responsible growth and protecting what makes Twin Falls County a great place to live.
Lee is running for County Commissioner because he believes in serving the community that has given his family so much. He understands that local decisions affect everyday lives, and he is committed to approaching the role with integrity, discipline, and respect for taxpayers. He is ready to bring his experience in leadership and operations to the service of District 2.
