CAMPAIGNS SPEAK TO CHARACTER. OUR CAMPAIGN WILL LEAD BY EXAMPLE WITH RESPECT TO OTHERS. Political campaigns can get ugly and often disrespectful especially seen with social media. Those involved with my campaign will maintain respect to others as we always have over the years. We may not agree with everyone, but we will answer questions with facts, openness, and respect. If you see anything that looks like it came from my campaign which is disrespectful, please email us and where you saw the comments. We will make certain we address anything inappropriate or hurtful. We will never post photos or drawings ridiculing others. Please report to us, anything that needs to be addressed, or misinformation that we can help stop and set the record straight. Many voters have told me they are growing discouraged with the nastiness of many campaigns in the past and recently. Voters, candidates and their supporters deserve respectful campaigns, and you will get that from my campaign. Politics is tough, but it's part of the process that hasn't changed since the beginning of political times. We will work hard and stay respectful to others and to address misinformation about me or the Clerk's office. Please reach out whenever you feel there is a need. Thank you.
