Respect in every aspect of our lives is the key word to keeping our children and grandchildren’s future safe. It is the way we were brought up in Putnam County. In this campaign season, at a local and national level, the respectful and positive messages by some candidates needs to be acknowledged. Mr. Kasich in particular has taken the high road and talks about the issues instead of bashing fellow Republicans. As citizens we need to raise the bar on what we expect from our public figures and the election process in general.
Mike Lammers respects the voters of Putnam County enough to keep his message positive, talking about the massive drug problems jeopardizing our future, and stopping the growth of government, saving taxpayer’s dollars. As Mike’s wife, a farmer’s daughter who grew up outside Glandorf, and his business partner for more than 30 years, let me say he is respectful, smart, and hardworking; which means allowing him to represent you as your commissioner would be great for Putnam County.
When he says he’s running for the future of our children and grandchildren, he’s sincere. I, more than anyone, know just how much time he invests attending all types of public meetings in every part of Putnam County. He does this to educate himself on the issues, and still manages to work full time helping folks with computer problems. His positive message will translate into positive action if you give him the privilege of representing you, the voters.
