The Cambria County treasurer is stepping down after a long tenure, signaling a turning point for local leadership in the heart of Pennsylvania.

After dedicating over two decades to public service, her decision caught some by surprise, but those close to the situation understand family commitments have taken priority.

The announcement came during a recent meeting at Rock Run Recreation Area, where the treasurer’s efforts and commitment to the Cambria County government were acknowledged by her peers.

According to officials, the remaining term—originally set to conclude in early 2028—will now be completed by First Deputy Michelle Jackson-Shevock.

Cambria County commissioners offered heartfelt thanks, citing the treasurer’s influence not only in managing finances but also in shaping county policies over the years.

The board also tackled other pressing business, including greenlighting updates to the historic Cambria County Courthouse roof, a project important to preserving downtown Johnstown’s character.

Commissioners stated that greater access for maintenance teams will ensure future repairs are less disruptive for county operations.

The transition comes at a moment when the county government seeks to bolster public trust and demonstrate stability amid significant changes.

Residents are watching closely to see how incoming leadership in the treasurer’s office continues to support community needs and drive responsible stewardship.
