Politics have never been a big issue for me, not until I met Charlotte Garrido.

She was introduced to us at a staff meeting as one our new colleagues. She intrigued our entire staff.

I didn’t know what to think or how to act around someone who had served as our Commissioner.

This is what I can tell you — I have spent my career in a supportive position to educators, directors, and executives.

I have never seen anyone work as hard as Charlotte, and I am honored to have worked with her.

She is approachable and easy to talk to.

She understands what we need as a community to succeed in these difficult economic times.

She is not afraid to ask hard questions and make thoughtful decisions.

I am proud to support her.

I have watched Charlotte get things done as a co-worker, now I ask you to let her get things done for our County once again.

I encourage you to attend one of the candidate forums, and you will understand what I mean.
