An open letter to the voters of Polk County: You have a big stake in the outcome of the next election: it will determine whether Polk continues to flounder, without a discernible sense of direction, or begins to formulate definable objectives and move steadily toward them. As citizens, we face a host of serious challenges: from complex issues like coastal demands for Polk's ground water, to seemingly simple problems like a lack of sidewalks for school children. We need to make a serious start to pave the many miles of clay roads in the county, and confront rapid growth before it destroys our quality of life. These and other challenges must be met, using all the talent and technology at our disposal. Because of these challenges, and at the urging of friends and supporters across the county, I have re-entered the political arena. My past successful experience in county government leaves me well prepared to tackle the challenges ahead. I cannot, however, succeed without the active support and participation of the citizens. I invite you to become involved in the issues of importance to Polk County. Learn what you can do to make a difference, and help to reshape your small part of the world. Take a moment to complete the response form below. I welcome and need your input on the issues, and I welcome you to join our efforts. I will personally respond to your e-mail, and I look forward to hearing from you.
