I recently received a small

donation and a note from one of my supporters who reinforced just what

service to one's country and community means. "Mr. Clyde" stated

in his note that he wished he was able to help me with the physical portion

of my campaign but could not because he is "85 1/3 years old, has

health problems and is on medications." He went on to tell me about

how he was on Normandy Beach on D-Day and that he still has his Presidential

citation.

Here is a man who knows what

service to one's country means, a man who could easily say that he had

done his part, and let others worry about what happens today. Yet he continues

to stay active in his local government and keeps up with the issues affecting

his county.

Every election I am privileged

to meet so many wonderful people in our county and I am always honored

am allowed to place a sign in your yard or I receive a donation of your

time, effort or a portion of your hard-earned money, I am humbled. Mr.

Clyde's note reminded me of how fortunate I have been to work for such

a community.

It has been an honor to serve

as your county commissioner for these past four years. I have tried to

represent each of you with dignity and integrity. I have tried to treat

each individual citizen as I would like to be treated. I have tried to

make every decision based on the concept of what was best for the entire

county. My platform has been up-front from the beginning; what I promised

I would do, I have done.

So now one week before election,

I once again ask that you allow me to serve as your county commissioner

for another term. Together we have made great strides; let's keep that

momentum going.

Linda Wells

County Commissioner
