PLEASE READ THIS!
Honesty in our government from county to national level has never
been more crucial! Let’s take a common-sense positive approach to this
election!
It has been three years since the last election. The same two men are
in the runoff. Are these men any different from three years ago? NO!
They both have their same personal and business records and qualifica-
tions they had then. Kenny has however, had three years of HANDS ON
EXPERIENCE in the office and the prior background to see that our roads
arerebuilt. Given enough time, th is WILL be accomplished. He has a good
crew working for him, but a crew is only as good as the man who leads
them.
Kenny can be trusted in control of our county budget. His life long
personal financial record will prove that to be true. He was told it would
"cost him votes" in this election. He has stood up for HONESTY at any
cost.
Kenny is a Christian man who believes that Christian principles should
guide every aspect of one’s daily life, not just Sundays. This has been
reflected in his life by all who know him.
Don’t be MISLED! Think seriously before you vote. Make the RIGHT
CHOICE for ALL of us.
Vote for CHARLES “KENNY” THOMPSON on April 14.
The family of Inez Richardson^A
would like to express our deep S
appreciation and thanks for all
theprayers, cards,flowerstfood,
