I wish to Congratulate Susan Fretwell of Russellville for being appointed by Governor Riley to the Alabama Board of Nursing. When you see Susan, thank her for her willingness to serve the people of Alabama on this important board. She has taken on a great responsibility to help formulate the policies that regulate the nurses in Alabama. She will represent Franklin County well.
Franklin County is looking for other people, like Susan, who are willing to serve our citizens as our elected officials. Now is your opportunity to bring your ideas to improve Franklin County. Our children and grandchildren are depending on you.
Qualifying ends at 5 p.m. today for the county offices. If you are willing to serve the citizens of Franklin County and would like to run for office as a Republican, call me at 256-810-1209. You must have the qualifying papers to me before 5 p.m. today.
Franklin County will elect people for the following offices: Superintendent of Education, Revenue Commissioner, Franklin County Commission (all four places), and District Three School Board Member. Each office is important to all of Franklin County's citizens. We need your leadership make Franklin County a better place to live, work, and play.
If you do not wish to run for one of the offices, encourage one of your friends to run. We need the most qualified candidates to improve Franklin County. With new leadership at the Court House, we can reap the benefits of a Republican President, Republican U.S. Senators, Republican U.S. Representative, and a Republican Governor. Now is the time to step up to the plate and serve our fellow citizens.
Don't let this opportunity to improve Franklin County pass by. Qualify today and start the ball rolling to a better Franklin County.
