Tomorrow Joe Graham will be attending his last Hamilton County Commissioner Meeting as a county commissioner. Nine years ago when he decided to run to serve the people of District Six he had a platform to make District Six the best part of Hamilton County. Former President Eisenhower once stated, “The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.”
Joe did a lot for the people of District Six and with his guidance and love for not just family but his admiration for the people of District Six and obtained numerous items that they needed. He worked tirelessly for a number of improvements throughout our district. He attended countless neighborhood meetings, took phone calls, and even visited the face to face with people to listen to their concerns.
I will be honest I can tell you all the things he did for our district over the eight years, but honestly one just needs to do is open their eyes. Joe told me all he wants is to make District Six to be looked upon not just by having a scenic beauty to it, but also having great people that live within it.
Tomorrow, I will be showing my respect to not just the best county commissioner I believe we ever had in District Six, but showing respect to my friend. Joe, thank you for all you did for our district Joe, you did an amazing job. Also, if you ever decide to run for any office again you know you will have my vote.
