Dear editor,
OK, I am going to get up on my soap box, please don’t scroll through and read. Anyone who knows me, know that I love politics. As a military wife I saw a chance to get involved. So I applied to be on the county cemetery board. I had the amazing task along with some amazing people, to get a veterans memorial built in Barton Co. We did. In doing so we worked closely with the County Commissioners. One of these very hard working people is Jennifer Schartz. It is election time! Jennifer Schartz is up for reelection. I have in many different ways known the Schartz family. I have been so impressed by Jennifer’s work ethic and how prepared she is on any topic or issue that would be raised in the board meetings. I respect Jennifer as an excellent commissioner. I am putting my support behind her for reelection. I encourage all of you to think very hard about who we put into office to guide and make decisions for our community. Tuesday is Election Day. It is not something you have to do or fit into your schedule, this is your right as an American citizen. Please utilize this your vote to continue the excellent work that Jennifer Schartz has put forth for the people of Barton County! Thank you!
