"As your County Commissioner,
I have worked to maintain lowest unemployment rate in the area, promoted positive job training, helped direct money for roads and bridges, and lead the county in fiscal conservative budgets.
The county commissioners office offers many challenges and opportunities and it takes some time and to arrive at decisions that that are best for the most people of the county. I would be honored to continue as your county commissioner in the future.
Remember to Vote!!"
