Additional Comments
Response

There are three differences that make me the best choice for Mayor.

1. I have experience in government leadership. This is important as government operates differently from private business with its own set of rules and laws. Not understanding these rules and laws could get the county sued and cost the tax payer money.

2. I am an attorney that understands how the law works and how to interpret the law. Currently, the county is interpreting the laws in a manner that is preventing citizens and businesses from thriving.

3. I'm an innovative problem solver with real world experience in creating positive change in government. I have helped bring positive change by listening to and working with the community and others to help solve unsolvable problems.

Moving forward in the age of Covid-19, the county will need a leader that brings innovative and effective solutions to the table.

Tell Mitch ROth thank you.
