Thank you for the opportunity to be considered to represent you as the Sumter County Commissioner for District 1. I am a Lifelong Republican, originally from Valparaiso, Indiana, and currently live in the Village of Winifred. I am a currrent member of The Villages Republican Club and the Republican Federated Women of The Villages.
I believe that everyone in Sumter County deserves to be treated with the same respect, whether an individual or a business, whether a resident of The Villages or other parts of the County. Everyone deserves access to quality services, quality roads, and quality emergency and safety services. At the same time, everyone – individual or business – should pay their Fair share.
I will not compromise my integrity to make decisions that do not pass the Fairness test.
I believe I conduct myself with Integrity…having the qualities of honesty and strong moral principles. And, I tell the Truth, believing that people have the ability, when presented with facts and the truth, to understand and to make up their own minds.
I will:
· Work to keep taxes low.
· Work with, and listen to, every resident in Sumter County.
· Balance the interests of residents and business.
· Make decisions that will maintain a high quality of life.
Public and community service is not new to me. Throughout my life I have been engaged and involved as a volunteer and as an elected city official:
I have been immersed in local government in The Villages and Sumter County for many years, attending District and County Commission meetings. I understand the issues and believe that my communications skills and leadership attributes will allow me to effectively represent both the residents and businesses in Sumter County.
I would love to talk with you and your neighbors about issues that are of importance to you. Please feel free to contact me at 219-508-6863 or send me an email at ElectDebButterfield@gmail.com.
