Letters to the Editor

To the editor,

I am writing this letter in support of Mr. Seth Bryan who is running for the elected office of Port Commissioner district #1, Columbia County. I’ve known Seth since he and his wife moved to Dayton about 6 years ago. I feel Seth’s experience in the heavy construction industry as a project superintendent where he worked with municipalities, engineering firms and inspection agencies would be great experience to have as a port commissioner. He also has been a successful small business owner.

Seth feels there must be transparency and accountability in public office and he believes that financial accountability must be upheld to enhance the trust of the citizens in their elected officials. The taxpaying citizens of Columbia County deserve nothing less . Seth also has the desire to help bring real economic growth to our area that will attract jobs that can support families. He is a proud member of Columbia County Conservatives and is dedicated to conservative principles.

I also appreciate the fact that he has given back to our community by volunteering his time for Celebrate Recovery, Veterans Affairs and senior citizens’ rights. I believe that Seth has the will and the abilities to be a good and thoughtful voice on the port commission and I strongly urge you to join me in voting for Seth Bryan for port commissioner district #1.
