As a resident of Delta County, I believe voters deserve candidates who demonstrate a proven standard of professional competence, trust, and accountability.
In local politics, we have seen public perception shaped not by merit, but by coordinated attacks aimed at poisoning the well of public opinion against local officials like David Moyle, Robert Petersen, and Bob Barron--as well as private citizens like myself.
When evaluating who is fit to represent us, track record matters. My own experience with Kelli VanGinhoven highlights valid questions about administrative reliability. On November 5, 2021, while a client at a local accounting office, I personally delivered written notice terminating my business with the firm because I was uncomfortable with her handling my affairs while she served in an administrative role.
Following my departure, I was later informed she was no longer employed there, and the firm subsequently reached out inviting me to return. I remain a satisfied client of that business today.
Voters evaluating candidates for leadership should look closely at professional competence and qualifications. Delta County deserves leaders who have earned the public trust through proven capability. If I could not trust her in a receptionist role, I have to ask: how can voters expect her to handle the broad responsibilities and public trust required for the county board, let alone the state senate?
