LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Early voting will soon begin, and Precinct 3 voters will select a new County Commissioner for the first time in several years. My time of service will end, and new leadership will have the opportunity to work on the issues important to us. Being your Commissioner is an amazing job that has provided me with a new perspective on my community and what matters most. There is no prerequisite for being a Commissioner, to be effective it takes a willingness to listen to others and understand what is important to them. Only what I have learned from my parents can surpass what I have learned during my time with the County. My experience representing you has made me a better person, and I thank all of you for giving me the opportunity to serve.
As we look to the future, we must stay committed to working together and respecting each other’s opinions. The issues we face are becoming more sophisticated and will require a high level of energy from our county government. For this reason, I am supporting Morgan Hammer for Precinct 3 Commissioner. We are fortunate to have two qualified and capable candidates for our consideration, however Morgan’s energy, willingness to learn and her ability to develop long-lasting partnerships in our community will provide us with the best chance for success. As a financial advisor, she has the financial tools to manage our tax dollars respectfully while investing in our future. I am continually impressed with her positive attitude and respect for others, and I truly believe she has the skills to accomplish the goals set for her by those she serves. Please consider Morgan when you head to the polls over the next few weeks, and please accept my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to serve you.
Lon A. Shell Hays County Commissioner, Precinct 3
