On Tuesday of next week, Jasper County residents will be given an opportunity to choose candidates for Jasper County Supervisor. In my opinion, one candidate — Mike Hansen — stands head and shoulders above the rest. As a council member and mayor, Mike has had to balance challenging budgets while maintaining vital services.
His previous experience shows he will not need a learning curve to serve as a county supervisor and can hit the ground running on his first day in office. He will treat this as a full-time job and spend the required time to do it right. He will be a steady voice and provide much needed leadership for all communities and residents of Jasper County.
As a former county supervisor, I understand the implications of the potential upcoming backfill and revenue shortages. We are at a pivotal point here in Jasper County and need to elect strong experienced leadership. I feel that leader is Mike Hansen. Please join me in casting your vote for Mike in the upcoming primary on June 5.
