Lee Helton Thanks District 7 Voters And Supporters

  • Friday, August 5, 2022

I wanted to take a moment to thank the voters for their confidence in electing me as the next District 7 Hamilton County commissioner. 

The best way I know of to express my gratitude is to simply do my best to improve the quality of life for District 7 and all residents of Hamilton County. 

I will work each day to earn your continued support.

Lee Helton
