Taking Action & Gaining Trust

The Faribault Daily News allows candidates one letter to the editor per election. Mine appears in print today. 

This is my one and only letter to the editor as a candidate for Rice County Commissioner:

My name is Sam Temple. I am running for County Commissioner to serve Faribault.

Action doesn’t have to wait until I am in office. My work has already begun.

My campaign is hosting a series of events where neighbors can make plans of action to improve our community.

Please, take part in these events. I want to hear from you.

I believe I have the experience, professional skills, and the drive to make positive change at the County level. But it won’t be just me.

If I am elected, I will create regular opportunities like these events where we can take action and learn more about the processes of change. I will write often to the newspaper, host regular events, and update my website weekly.

I have “walked the walk” in my campaign. Because of this, I will become a trusted County Commissioner.
