Troy Clawson

Troy Clawson has announced his candidacy for county commissioner on the Republican ticket.

Clawson currently serves on Youngsville Borough’s council and is the president/CEO of The TMC Tax Experience, LLC, a tax and accounting business.

His desire to run is “about the responsibility and not the power involved in the position,” he said. “Warren County has so much potential for success.”

He holds a B.S. in forensic accounting from Edinboro University and was also part of the Leadership Warren County class of 2015/2016.

“These organizations are all about collaboration with local elected officials,” he said.

In addition to borough council, he also serves on local boards including the Warren County Visitors Bureau, Youngsville Television Corporation, Warren County Industrial Development Authority, Allegheny Community Center as well as Pa. Chapter vice-president of the National Association of Tax Professionals.
