Why me?

My decision to run for County Council originated last year when I attended a council meeting to express my opposition to a proposed amendment that would have placed the question of Sunday alcohol sales on the ballot. The council could have stopped this measure with a majority vote not to advance it, which would have ended the matter. However, the majority voted 5–1 to place it on the ballot, with Councilman David Sinclair casting the only vote against it. I believed the true conservative position was to reject the amendment at that point. Recognizing that only one council member had taken that stance, I felt compelled to act. As a Christian, I believe every decision in life should be approached prayer- fully, and after much prayer and discussion with my wife, I decided to seek election to represent my district when the opportunity arose. I bring with me 50 years of workforce experience that I believe would be a strong asset to this position. Now retired, I have the time necessary to dedicate myself fully to serving the citizens of our county. I am a Christian, guided by common sense and conservative principles, and I will vote accordingly. My philosophy is straightforward: if a measure benefits the county, we should pursue it; if it does not, we should not. Thank you for your time and consideration, Buddy Parris
