LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for the support

Dear Editor,

I would like to extend a thank you to those who supported me as a “Candidate Without Party Affiliation” in my bid to represent you as Superintendent of the Elk Rapids TWP Board. My supporters included the members of the Birch Lake Association, those who follow my letters to the editor, members of the Sons of AMVETS and the AMVETS, liberal sympathizers and other individuals. Elk Rapids News, who helped design my campaign advertisements, and “Image 360,” the Traverse City sign company, who produced our very durable yard signs, are also appreciated. My attempt to secure this position garnered 513 votes compared to 1,172 for the incumbent, which is approximately one-third of those casting ballots. Your support and encouragement in my challenging the incumbent are appreciated.
