Dear Carroll County Republican Voter,

Tomorrow, you will go to the polls. I respectfully ask for one of your votes for County Commissioner.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the many of you that have supported our effort, volunteered your time and provided encouragement. So many of you have been to our web site, attended forums or contacted me directly.

I am proud of the positive campaign that we have run.

I am proud that we have created plans for the future, set specific goals and offered new ideas.

Throughout this campaign we have presented our ideas without attacking other candidates or existing commissioners.

I do not subscribe to or support the methods of personal attack or mudslinging that we have seen. Such negative campaigns undermine the serious business of choosing our elected officials.

These are not the values of our party.

I do believe that we need a change on the Board of Commissioners. It’s time to bring a business approach to managing our county government.

We need less taxes, control on spending and economic development.

I want to bring my business experience, ability to work with others, command of new technologies, enthusiasm, energy, conservative philosophy and strong family values to county government.

I ask for your vote!

Respectfully yours,

Doug Howard

Candidate, County Commissioner
