EDITOR:

As the election approaches we should take time to catch our breath and make good sound decisions as to who should represent us.

Our local elections are just as important as the national election as the decisions our local elected officials make affect us directly.

While many people vote strictly on party lines, that’s not how our family sees things. We look at what’s important, not only for us but for others as well. One example, prior to having children we always voted to support local school millages. Why would we do that? The answer is simple, it was the right thing to do as we are part of the community.

When we cast our votes in any election we select candidates based on their character, honesty and integrity. We don’t vote for people who are self serving , dishonest or corrupt. We understand the Constitution and honor all the amendments, not just a select few. For all the above mentioned reasons we are supporting Commissioner Kelli Van Ginhoven for reelection in November. We believe she exemplifies the necessary traits of a strong competent leader and leads by example. Commissioner Van Ginhoven is an an integral part of the community and we are proud to support her.
