Reader endorses Greenwald for Supervsior

Editor:

 

I am writing to express my support for Chris Greenwald for Lee County Supervisor.

Having known Chris since 1997, I have had the privilege of working alongside him in multiple capacities throughout our public service careers. We served as reserve police officers for the City of Fort Madison and Chris served as a City Councilor and Mayor Pro-Tem during my tenure as Mayor. In these roles, Chris has consistently proven himself to be an engaged, dedicated, and effectively reliable public servant.

Chris brings a practical, proactive approach to government, by getting out in front of the issues, carefully considering all facts and perspectives before offering thoughtful, well-balanced solutions to the challenges facing our community. He is a proven consensus builder, utilizing all resources to shape forward-thinking ideas and legislation while respecting and preserving our local heritage by prioritizing the best interests of southeast Iowa and its residents. He will work hard to identify how the county departments can operate more efficiently, stretch taxpayer dollars and deliver effective results. He is committed to full transparency regarding county costs and ensuring that all residents affected by local policies have a voice in shaping better decisions.

I am fully confident that Chris is up for the challenge of serving as Supervisor with a willingness to put himself out front and take a stand on issues. He will approach county leadership with an eye toward the future—capitalizing on the economic and community opportunities that lie ahead while steadfastly protecting what our community holds most dear. 

I wholeheartedly endorse Chris for Supervisor and encourage the community to support his leadership.
