Friends, the time has come. Early voting starts tomorrow and runs until March 3rd. There are four races this go ‘round that are of particular importance to me. Please take a moment to read these recommendations, and even if you disagree, go VOTE!
284th District Court: I am supporting my friend of many years, Jo Ann “Jo” Linzer. She’s got what it takes to manage this Court, which is one of the busiest in the State. She’ll be decisive, fair, and efficient.
County Clerk: Mark Turnbull. His office is efficient, his administration transparent, and he has been a good steward of our taxes. We couldn’t ask for a better County Clerk.
District Clerk: Melisa Miller. She’s not only up to the job, in this race, she is the only person qualified to immediately assume the duties of this incredibly important office.
County Treasurer: I’m supporting Melanie Bush because she is qualified, well-educated, fair-minded, and to be blunt, her last name isn’t Davenport. I know that her opponent is a sweet lady, but I am deeply concerned about her husband’s influence in her office and in Montgomery County politics and the influence he seems to wield over so many in our local government. We need elected officials who can get along, but be independent, and independence is an anathema to the current Treasurer. It’s time for a change.
Those are my picks. No need to agree, and certainly no need to argue, just get out there and VOTE!
