This letter is being written in support of Commissioner Tom Gerhard. We have been friends of Tom for many years and are looking forward to having him as our commissioner for another term.

Tom is not only visible as a candidate during election, but if you are friends of his on Facebook you will see he is at multiple events every day. We marvel at how many events he and his wife can attend in one day. They not only show their faces but also help at the functions. We have had Tom serve us dinner for different charities throughout the county.

Go to any fire company, church function or any other organization and you are sure to see Tom and his wife there supporting the cause. We have always found Tom to be honest, sincere in his love for the county and acts with integrity. We encourage everyone to view the commissioners meetings online and see how much of a gentleman Tom is even when he is (as we see it) being bullied by visitors to the meetings.
