Vote Jackson
To the editor:
Let’s face it. I am a fan of Mike Jackson. There is only one reason that I write to you today, to encourage your readers to elect Mike Jackson to the Board of County Commissioners and benefit all of the citizens of Lee County.
For the past 18 months, while working together as members of the leadership team of the Southwest Florida Regional Technology Partnership, a consortium of local pioneers interested in expanding a technology-based economy in this region, I have witnessed Mike first hand. It is truly a wonderful thing to watch.
Whether it be crafting our service to the members of the Partnership, acting as emcee at our events, serving on our advisory board at the Whitaker School of Engineering at FGCU to support the development of a technology-based curriculum, or from his cell phone helping a homeless man outside of the Stonewood Grill get proper attention from community organizations, Mike Jackson cares deeply about this community and actively works to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
Let’s face it. I am a fan of Mike Jackson and we need him in Lee County government.

To the editor:
There are four Republican candidates for Lee County Commission, District 1. I know all four and my choice is Mike Jackson. Mike’s not a career politician. This is his first campaign; yet he has broad government and business experience. He earned an MBA from Northwestern University and owned his own business. He has what it takes to control spending.
Mike won national awards as Cape Coral Economic Development Director. He generated an annual return on investment of $100 for every dollar spent. Today he’s helping to grow our economy and increase jobs with his work on the SWFL Workforce Development Board and the SWFL Regional Technology Partnership.
In his first career, Mike was an award-winning network TV newscaster. He knows how to listen; and believes in government accountability.
More than that, Mike has heart. He has a long history of leadership in helping people with substance abuse, adult literacy and mental health. He believes Lee County can do better; and he wants our government to be something we can all be proud of.
This will be a close race where every vote counts. Please join me in voting for Mike Jackson. He’s a proven leader we can trust.
