3)  I will provide public knowledge and be informative about decisions being proposed.

4)  Roads will be continually maintained efficiently and cost measures kept within budget.

5)  My door will be always open to listen to your concerns and to find or offer a solution to the concerns of the constituents of Brown County.

I am dedicated, honest, and trustworthy.  I will work for the tax payers of Brown County. Each vote counts.

I would appreciate your support.”
