Each campaign season we start off with the highest of
aspirations as I pray that we have honorable and up-beat elections based on the
issues of the office being sought and the qualifications of the individuals running
for those office. Ideally the hope would be that a candidate is qualified to
handle the office, understands the entirety of the work done by the office, and
wants to serve the constituency that elects them – IDEALLY!!
Sadly, there are some folks who run for office based
on one issue; be it to run as a stepping stone to another office, a grievance
towards the current officeholder, or an ego that feels the need to occupy that
office. Inevitably we have one, or maybe two candidates that fit this bill just
about each election cycle.
In the last few days I have had some talks with some
concerned voters about a couple of issues and I feel the need to speak out and
clear up a few things as they are currently known to the best of the knowledge
of the Leadership of the Republican Party of Milam County – AND ME!!
I’ll make these quick and Easy.
1.
Currently, all the candidates running for office
are in good standing with the Republican Party of Milam County.
2.
Currently, the entire slate of Republican
Candidates is in good health and prepared to continue in or assume office
following this year’s elections.
3.
AND, Currently, none of the candidates running
for office in Milam County is in any trouble legally, and/or civilly.
Like I said, this is to the best of the knowledge of
me and the leadership of the Republican Party of Milam County, and we stay
pretty well informed.
So if you hear anything to the contrary, hear any GOP
candidate making derogatory comments towards their opponent or another elected GOP
officeholder, or you have concerns about something a candidate says, then feel
free to give me a call, shoot me a text, hit me up on Facebook, or send me an
email and I will be happy to discuss this with you.
I am here for all the candidates; however, I have and
always will work towards the goals of fairness and civility in the election
process here in Milam County.
Thanks,
Bill
