Support For Jonathan Welch

Tuesday, July 24, 2012

I am writing to recommend and support Dr. Jonathan Welch in the upcoming election for the District 2 School Board. I have known Dr. Welch for 35 years as my dentist and friend and I cannot think of a more trustworthy, honest, and accountable man. 

Simply put, I trust Jonathan when it comes to decision making and I have no doubt that he would do an excellent job on the school board due to his acute interest in education. Please join me and my wife, Alex, in voting for Jonathan on Aug. 2.
