In response to the informative article recently discussing the candidates for Board of Supervisors, I have a few remarks about an outstanding candidate. His name is Joe Straten and he is running in the Taylor District.
I serve with Joe in the volunteer group, Employers in Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) and know him to be a dedicated, diligent worker. His 20-plus years of military service and his experience with industry have given him a balanced perspective and an interest in improving Washington County. I know that he will concentrate on bringing jobs and progress to our county, by encouraging competition and fostering an environment favorable to new business. My strong belief is that we need fresh ideas to plan for our future!
