Editor:

I would like to take this time to express my endorsement for Steve Simmons for Preble County Commissioner.

In working as township trustee for 20 years and as fiscal officer for the past 12 years, I want to let everyone know just how important Steve was for our township when he was the county engineer. Steve was instrumental for our township in not only helping to get the Issue 2 projects but in helping in all aspects of township government.

I feel that Steve will make an excellent commissioner. As county engineer, Steve helped make our township and the two villages within the township a better place to live, and as county commissioner I feel he will continue to improve all of Preble County.
