I want to take this opportunity to thank each of you for allowing me to speak to you about the issues facing our township. I also want to thank you for listening to the differences between my opponent and I, differences that I feel are philosophical only. I have very strong feelings about how you conduct yourself while being a public servant.
My mother was a very active leader in the Republican Party and the Young Republicans of Hendricks County. This allowed me the chance to observe how others conducted themselves in elections and in governing. My mother taught me that those who were public servants must always remember that being elected to a public office was an honor. That folks entrusted you to do the right thing on their behalf. They also expected you to be truthful and listen. Most of all they were giving you a sacred trust to handle public funds wisely.
If I have the honor of receiving that sacred trust from you then I promise to apply what my mother and being a member of the Boy Scouts of America for 50 years have taught me. I will conduct myself on your behalf. I will always remember that my actions not only reflect me; but more importantly the folks who live in the Greater Avon Community.
Again thank you for the journey I have had these past six months. I am glad that I did this because I have been able to reaffirm what I have been telling people in other communities that the Greater Avon Community is the “jewel of Hendricks County”.
