Solano County Administrator Michael D. Johnson has announced the selection of Stephen Pierce as the county's new public communications officer.

The position serves a wide variety of communications and information needs for county administration and the Board of Supervisors, including media, government and community relations. In this role, Pierce will provide assistance in internal and external communications for all county departments.

Pierce has served as a district representative for Supervisor Mike Reagan since January 2005. The Iowa native arrived in Solano County in 1992 as an Air Force staff sergeant working in the Public Affairs Office at Travis Air Force Base. He joined the Fairfield Daily Republic staff in 1995 as a copy editor, and worked later as associate business editor.

Pierce returned to Travis Air Force Base in 2000 as the marketing director of the 60th Services Squadron. In his 21-year career, Pierce has written for and edited 12 publications across three continents.

Officials are confident that the newly appointed public communications officer will further the Solano County Board of Supervisors' goal of improving the flow of information between the county and citizens as well as between county departments.
