Vote Salome in supervisor’s race
To the editor:
I believe that a supervisor of elections needs to be in touch with the people. Elections are, after all, the most important way the people express their collective will.
I was very impressed with how Carmen Salomespent months collecting signatures from the people, asking if they wanted her on the ballot. All others wrote a check.
She had a job interview with you, explaining why she should be considered, answering questions, accepting scrutiny directly from you. The smart people of Lee County asked incisive and challenging questions. She passed that test fully.
Carmen is a dedicated community servant, not a politician. She simply wants to offer her efforts on our behalf. She has the intelligence, knowledge, organizational skills and technical prowess to become an effective public servant.
I have known Carmen for several years and she is a true American patriot who loves our country, our constitution, and our way of life. She cares for the integrity of our electoral process and wants to secure that your vote truly counts. I respectfully ask you to consider voting for Carmen Salome. There is no one who can better serve our county in that important position.
