Who Will They Serve?

Based on the past voting records of our community, 72% of our citizens are conservative and Republican. Also, based on history, most of the candidates running for the Town’s offices are conservative.

Why does the local republican party feel the need to endorse anyone in Town elections for positions that were established as nonpartisan in the Town charter?

If other conservative candidates don’t agree with the positions of the local party and do not receive the local endorsement, they work at a great disadvantage, fighting against the resources provided by the local party machine. Maybe if these endorsements are eliminated, we might elect quality conservatives who focus more on what’s good for our community instead of catering to the self-interest of the local party bosses.

We now have an opportunity to replace members of the Council and the mayor this election cycle with conservative candidates campaigning without the party’s endorsements.

Maybe this is the opportunity to change the focus of elected officials to serving the needs of our community instead of being indebted to the few in control.
