Dear Editor:
My name is Paul Marsh and I am running for Precinct Committeeman for Noblesville 16.
My family and I are longtime residents and I am a former Neighborhood Association Board Member of the Whitcomb Ridge Neighborhood. I have been working the polls here in Hamilton County for the past 11 years as the Inspector for the Noblesville 33 precinct. In 2019, I was appointed Precinct Committeeman for Noblesville 33 by the Hamilton County Republican Party. Earlier this year when I saw that no one was running for Precinct Committeeman for our precinct, Noblesville 16, I chose to run as a way to give back to our community and the precinct in which we live.
Since that time, I found out that one of our neighbors is now running as well. While I wish him well, I am asking for your vote. Last week as you went through your mail you may have found a letter from “Chris Jensen for Mayor” endorsing my opponent. I ask that you consider why it is that our Mayor’s campaign is endorsing a Precinct Committeeman?
The reason is simple: It is pure politics.
Chris Jensen and his campaign are working to consolidate power within the Republican Party. I, quite frankly, am not part of that.
If you are the kind of person who likes to make up your own mind and does not appreciate someone else telling you how to vote, then I’d like to work for you as your precinct committeeman.
Everyone is affected by government, even if they don’t like it or if they don’t participate in the election process. You are governed by rules and regulations imposed by the government. Don’t you feel it is important to have a say in the way our government is run? You can – by being active and not passive. We must step up to the plate and be heard.
This is your precinct and your choice.
Paul Marsh
Noblesville
