Who your vote will support

When you vote for Tom you will be supporting everyone who wants:

• A District 2 Commissioner who is honest, open, fair and balanced;

• Our Board of County Commissioners to:
       Fight less,
       Focus on our real community needs,
       Stop using our tax dollars on pork and fluff election projects, and
       Provide a new vision and road map for our futures.

• Our homes and businesses to be affordable again;

• Safer and neighbor friendly communities;

• Less congestion where we live, drive, shop, play, learn, and work;

• A diversity of jobs that offer good earnings and career potential;

• Development that:
       Does not complicate our lives,
       Preserves our character and quality of life, and
       Serves the community and not special interests.
   

In short, your vote will support the difference between

Tom and the current District 2 commissioner.

I am fundamentally different because I deal with County government and our community as a Statesman, not as a politician.  A Statesman thinks of our next generation and is not limited by what will decide the next election. 

I believe that being a true leader – a Statesman – means:

• Respecting not only the political process, but also

• Respecting our history, customs, and character

• Respecting your opinions

• Understanding human nature, and

• Understanding that certain things MUST be done for the good of our community,
  In spite of what others may WANT to do to feed their egos or pockets.
   

Unlike my opponent, I will not:

• Sit silently and wait to be confronted by issues, and

• Then only do what’s necessary for the next election.

Instead, I will:

• Reach out to understand your issues,

• Actively deal with them,

• Be consistent and reliable while planning and deciding issues, and

• Be satisfied only when things can be foreseen to be going well for you and our
  community’s future.

I ask for your help in my campaign as the first step of changing our Board of County Commissioners from “Pro-Developer” to our new “Pro-Community” vision.

We must hold the current District 2 Commissioner accountable for his past 5 years of poor performance and not allow him to spin his way out of it.  Because he and his handlers will use the plans discussed here, they will be detailed later in 2008.  Until then, I will gladly meet with your group to discuss them. 

With Great Regard,

Tom Aderhold
