I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to vote for J. Scott Christianson for Boone County presiding commissioner. J. Scott has been a family friend for nearly 10 years. In that time, I have come to know him as a practical, honest, forthright person. He is incredibly organized, he works well with people, and he remains calm in high-pressure situations. Boone County would be lucky to have him. Please join me in voting for him in the Aug. 3 primary.
There has been a lot of attention focused on our campaign in the past week and we have been getting a lot of good press. Below are some of the articles of note, including an endorsement from the Columbia Daily Tribune.
I first met Scott Christianson in the late ’90s, and later we served together on several service projects. His positive approach to problem solving was refreshing and inspiring.
As the 2010 census will confirm, Boone County is rapidly expanding. With this growth come increasingly complex issues and responsibilities that must be addressed. These issues have a large impact on county residents; they require the dedicated attention of a leader who has not only a great deal of foresight, but skills to creatively solve problems.
We need a presiding commissioner with a high level of professionalism, modern technology skills and youthful energy to meet the opportunities and challenges of a first-class county in the 21st century. Please join me in voting for Scott Christianson on August 3.
In my 20 years of public service as sheriff of Boone County, I learned firsthand the importance of working cooperatively with the county’s public officials, who provide the many public services that preserve the quality of life we value so highly.
I also learned that a community’s reputation, so critical to economic growth, could easily be compromised. That is why I was always careful to balance the needs of our citizens and neighborhoods with those of our business community. And, yes, I learned that it is hard to satisfy every need with limited resources.
I know that Scott Christianson shares my views on these important issues. He has gained my respect as an individual who listens carefully to all sides of an issue, engages in a focused, civil discussion to understand them better and then makes a timely decision. These qualities, more than ever, are critical to good government.
I am confident that Scott supports the progressive public safety agenda for which Boone County is known and he will work hard to ensure that Boone County is an ideal place for our citizens to live, work and thrive.
We need exceptional and energetic leadership to maintain what we have and to lead us into the future we envision. Scott is a man who can deliver for all of us. Please join me in voting for Scott on Aug. 3rd.
