Newcomers to Warren County Question Endorsement, Support Rich Jamieson for North River Supervisor

My wife Amber and I are relative newcomers to Warren County. We moved here in 2016 to the North River District, so we don’t have the deep Warren County knowledge that others may have about who Mr. Ralph Waller is, or why his endorsement for the write-in candidate for the Board of Supervisors would be meaningful. However, we did notice he said he was a strong conservative, and we consider ourselves to be conservative leaning, and we are supporters of Delores Oates for House of Delegates, so we checked out Ms. Wanzer’s web site. We also saw that she had a video on the Royal Examiner “Meet the Candidates” on September 23, so we watched the interview to see what we could learn about who Mr. Waller was endorsing.

After reading Mr. Wallers endorsement letter, looking at Ms. Wanzer’s campaign website, and watching the Royal Examiner interview, we couldn’t figure out who Mr. Waller was talking about. Ms. Wanzer said, “this is my first crack at dipping my toe into things, seeing if I can help”. Mr. Waller said she had “comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of the Board of Supervisors, paired with her fresh and progressive ideas…”. Besides not seeing any conservative ideas, it seems like maybe the county board of supervisors is a lot to trust to someone who is taking their “first crack” at “dipping their toe” into leadership.

We reached out to Rich Jamieson, and he met with us, and told us about his history and his platform, and he showed us his website. He has a long history of volunteering in the community, and he has an education and professional business experience that can actually help the county. He talked about helping our local companies benefit from the growth in the county, while keeping the rural character of the county by preventing rezoning of rural agricultural tracts for high density developments. He also is endorsed by the Republican party. We realize we aren’t known by many in Warren County, but we still want to endorse Rich Jamieson for the North River Supervisor, and hope everyone else would take the time to research and compare to see for yourself who is actually a conservative, if that’s what you intend to vote for.
