Sam Lux is announcing his candidacy for Carbon County controller.

Born and raised in Carbon County, he is the son of Tom Lux, a local business owner and Lisa Lux a school teacher. Lux has experience providing financial planning solutions for municipal and county governments across the United States. He is excited for the opportunity to use his experience to improve financial operations and the budgeting process for Carbon County.

Lux’s experience includes a degree in finance from West Chester University, working in financial operations at JP Morgan Chase, and helping governments create long-term budgeting solutions at PFM - Public Financial Management.

As controller, Lux will use his experience to oversee auditing county business, and ensure the county is responsibly managing taxpayer funds. Lux is committed to eliminating redundant and costly processes that slow down our government; as well as, creating sustainable budgets that will balance not just over one year, but create stability for 3, 5, 10 years and beyond.

Lux is already deeply involved in our community, coaching the Jim Thorpe High School tennis team, substitute teaching at our area schools, and actively enjoying the natural beauty of our county
