Rarely do I get involved in politics. However, there is no better time than the present to express my view.
I have observed Greg Martin in the Hixson community over time as a successful business man as well as quite an accomplished public servant. He began his political career successfully serving as the District 3 School Board representative. From that successful role he campaigned for and became the County District 3 county commissioner. He has proven to be a strong, effective community leader.
I have noticed numerous accomplishments as a result of Greg's public service. He worked on and with others on getting a new Middle Valley Elementary School built. He has worked closely with and with others the Sheriff's Department and the Dallas Bay Volunteer Fire Department to ensure they have the tools to get their jobs done. He voted for senior tax relief this past year. He approaches government with a business like, common sense approach. He continually looks for ways to eliminate wasteful spending.
It is hard to imagine that the residents of Hixson District 3 would consider anyone else better qualified to be re-elected to the Hamilton County Commission. If you have not already, please vote for Greg Martin.
