One of the finest descriptions of leadership and government service is found in the 2nd Chapter of Philippians:
“3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”
Special interests place their own interests ahead of everyday citizens and taxpayers. Too many decisions in Walton County are made for the benefit of a select few to the detriment of the majority.
I promise that if I am elected I will remember I am a servant of the citizens of Walton County, not their master. I will remember I am a co-worker of the employees and respect them and their efforts. I will base every vote on what is best for the citizens and taxpayers of Walton County and not for my own interests or the interests of my political cronies.
Public service is about improving our county and the quality of life or everyone, not enriching a select few.
