I believe that this position exists so that the people of this community have a voice in how our county is run and how our money is spent, we do not need a "leader" that makes all the decisions for us, we need a "representative" that will listen to what the people want not what one particular person, group, or political party wants. This has been a nationwide issue in politics today whereas these politicians have forgotten their role as the "employee" of the people and instead are acting as our "rulers". As a veteran my loyalty is to the people and most especially the Constitution of the United States which is why I belong to no political party, I work for people not parties.
