MIKE COLBY, Pasco

When I look at my ballot, I try to consider which candidate is going to provide the best "customer service" to our region and to the voters, who is going to listen thoughtfully, have an open-door policy and who will consider suggestions made by voters.

For Franklin County commissioner, Position 1, that candidate is Brad Peck. Brad is well respected in Franklin County and deserves at least another four years to improve the quality of life for our citizens. He works tirelessly to promote Franklin County and to make it a great place to both live and do business.

As a citizen and small-business owner, I know that Brad will work hard for me and for others like me. He understands the importance of small businesses and knows that they truly are the backbone of our community and of economic development.

I urge you to vote for Brad for Franklin County commissioner.
