Dear Editor:

On March 15, 2016 voters in the Ohio Primary Election will have the opportunity to go to the polls and exercise their right to vote for the candidate of their choice in preparation for the November general election. In addition to the Presidential candidates, we will have the opportunity to set the future direction of our County by electing our choices for County Commissioner. One candidate that is seeking your support is Barb Bruner.

As a lifelong resident of Clermont County, Barb has devoted her life and career in service to others. As a business owner, she understands what it takes to manage a budget, deliver quality services, and ensuring customer satisfaction. As a licensed child care provider, many parents throughout the county have entrusted the care and welfare of their children with her and her dedicated staff. I have seen this firsthand because my oldest was one of Barb’s kids. Besides knowing Barb as a business owner, I know her as a friend and advocate for doing what is right. She is very active in her support of those who have served our country in the armed forces both past and present. She believes in the power of education and has demonstrated that through her involvement with many of the local school districts in the county. She will bring a strong and dedicated work ethic to the Commissioners position that embodies treating others with dignity and respect no matter what your background. She also understands the need to be fiscally responsible with the taxpayers’ dollars and I believe demonstrates that in the manner in which she runs her business. She understands that during economic downturns we all have to tighten our belts, but in times of prosperity, we continue to demonstrate fiscal restraint but focus on the priorities of the community.

Barb will be an advocate for Clermont County and do so with the utmost integrity, stewardship, and high ethical standards. I urge you to join me by voting for Barb Bruner, Republican candidate for County Commissioner on March 15th.

Michael Enriquez
Resident of Batavia Township
