Final Endorsements

With one week remaining until the general election, I have decided it is time to endorse candidates in the race for Rogers City Council and Rogers Mayor. My decisions are based on who I want to serve with and where I think the most can be accomplished to benefit the City. None of the candidates formally approached me and asked for an endorsement. These are my opinions only.

City Council
Jay Bunting - I previously wrote a letter supporting Jay. See the link below.
Rob Bell - Along with Jay, Rob is the only other candidate I saw at Council Meetings. I base my decision on my interactions with Rob and Jay as members of the Planning Commission, as well at regularly scheduled Council meetings.

Mayor
If this election would have been 12 months ago, without a doubt I would have been supporting Scott Adams. For about 3 years, Scott and I were in the minority on several issues. In fact, I disagreed with Jason Grimm on a number of these issues during that time.

Overall, on most issues the three of us all agree on how to proceed. However in the past 12 months or so, it seems like there have been a couple of significant issues that I have not seen eye to eye with Scott and agree more with Jason. I am not going to go into any specific issues - they've been covered in the local media and in various letters to the editor(s).

That said I will be supporting Jason Grimm for Mayor.

I refuse to say anything negative about any of the candidates, as to why I am not supporting a particular candidate. There is enough of that at every other level.
