(Paid letter)
Dear editor,
It’s time. It’s time for fresh ideas and fresh faces in our local government. When I ran two years ago for my position on the Ogle County Board for District 6, I heard this phrase often and it is the reason I am penning this letter to you today. I am writing my support to Ogle County voters in District 5 to elect Ron Kern to the Ogle County Board in the upcoming primary on March 19.
Ron has lived and worked in Ogle County since 1986. He has been a voice of reason in the farm/agriculture community in understanding the problems individuals in Ogle County face and he has been an agent of change when it comes to developing solutions to a number of issues and challenges. Ron is the true definition of an advocate, he does not stop researching and understanding an issue until he fully comprehends it, and then utilizes his data and information he’s collected to create the best strategy moving forward for all those involved.
Ron is a critical thinker that understands and researches policy from the local level all the way to the federal layer of our government. He is an exemplary citizen and he champions the idea of good government. I am proud to call Ron Kern a friend of mine and I hope you will consider showing your support for Ron in the primary on March 19. It’s time; It’s time for a fresh name to hold a seat of tradition in our county.
-Ryan Reeverts, Ogle County Board District 6
