Support Tom Eshelman: Warren County Resident Praises His Honest and Thoughtful Leadership for Front Royal

Published

on

I have lived in Warren County for more than twenty years. As a county resident, I am not eligible to vote in the Front Royal town elections.

However, I have followed this current mayoral election closely and found that the independent candidate, Tom Eshelman, has presented his platform in a realistic, honest, cogent, and intelligent manner.

Tom is a lifelong Front Royal resident and truly has the best interests of the town and its residents at the forefront of his campaign.  Some have accused him of being for this or that, but those who have made those allegations have just not been listening or choose not to. Sad for them!

In my opinion, Tom’s platform, cool approach, and insight are just what Front Royal needs at this point in time as we look forward to an even more prosperous future with good government, thoughtful growth, abundant water, and even more desirable living conditions for the town and, ultimately, county residents.

Come election day, get out and vote!
