Dear Editor,

I could talk about when I first met Randal Son, about his family, or his life. I could address his general character. But, that doesn’t give us much indication of his ability to do the job for which we are electing him. While interesting to hear these things, what we need is an example of how Randal Son approaches the problems he is bound to face as Commissioner.

Does anyone recall those annual Humane Society fundraisers where Randal Son would spend his November days and nights outside in a dog kennel no matter the weather until enough monies had been raised? Done with humor and grace, Randal Son showed commitment to the task and the cause. He showed creativity in capturing the attention of the community. He showed innovation in reaching his goals. He put himself out there to get the job done. 

Today, Randal Son is running to be our fulltime County Commissioner for District 2. He will bring that same commitment, creativity, and innovation to the ever-changing needs of this modern-day community. Randal Son will bring engagement, transparency, and service to the citizens of this county when he is elected Commissioner. I invite you to join me in voting for Randal Son on election day.
