A Conservative Republican for County Commissioner

I thank you for this opportunity to run for your County Commissioner.

I want to serve as Knox County Commissioner because I understand the issues that are important to all Knox County residents, from improving the quality of our schools to protecting homeowners’ rights and ensuring public safety. Every voter should trust his or her elected officials, and as Commissioner, my first priority will be to reestablish that trust.

I am firmly dedicated to restoring an ethical government in Knox County – one that is composed of officials who will always put the voters’ interests before their own. I believe character counts and I will do my best to make Knox County government responsive, transparent, and citizen-driven. Good government requires an attentive and involved citizenry, ethical and competent leaders, and a watchful and independent press. My ultimate goal is to convince more like-minded citizens to run for public office in Knox County.

You can trust that I will never forget the ‘servant’ part of public servant.
