Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and may not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com
Every five years, WE THE PEOPLE (the citizens of Clark County) get to elect people to represent our needs and desires for our county as a whole whether it’s lowering taxes, or making sure there’s enough law enforcement to enforce the law and get criminals off the streets.
The Clark County Charter allows us to have a voice for what happens in our own backyard. It’s our own county constitution.
The Clark County Charter allows us to have a voice through the people we elect. Brad Benton would be that voice. He wants to make it easier for families to be raised in Clark County and therefore lowering taxes in Clark County is a priority for him. He wants children and their families to feel safe, protected, and know their lives matter and therefore wants to bring back the excitement of working in law enforcement back again in Clark County.
I know Brad personally and I can say, without a doubt in my mind, that he truly cares about us as a county and us as a community all trying to help one another.
If you want to meet Brad and have the opportunity to ask any questions, or address any concerns I’d encourage you to attend the Clark County Charter event for District 5 at Podunk Pizza Co. in La Center. The event starts at 6 p.m. on Tue., Oct. 21.
In all truthfulness, a vote for Brad IS your voice and your voice matters, so make your voice count. Vote for Brad Benton on, or before Nov. 4, 2025 to create the change you want to see!
