Mumm to represent everyone
I’m voting for Candace Mumm for county commissioner. She is smart, savvy and experienced. Candace listens to people, neighborhoods and businesses. She knows how to get us what we actually want and need.
The county’s biggest issues and expenses are with crime prevention and criminal justice. Candace understands these issues because she covered them as an Emmy-winning reporter.
One huge concern is with offenders that need treatment for mental illness but don’t get it because of lack of funding. Candace has a way to provide and fund assistance for these people to help keep them from bogging down the system by reoffending and going back to jail.
Candace also has specific plans for reducing county expenses without raising taxes, improving our economy and helping businesses thrive. Her plans are all doable. She isn’t beholden to special interests and she has worked in both parties. She will represent everyone well. Please vote for Candace Mumm.
