Dear Editor,
There are few people more well-suited to the Hamilton County Council than Steve Nation. I feel lucky to consider him a friend, and have thoroughly enjoyed working with him on projects like the Career Center. Thanks to Steve Nation’s tremendous commitment to Hamilton County, many residents are safer and have the resources they need to meet their highest potential.
Steve was also the driving force behind establishing our county’s Youth Assistance programs and victim assistance in cases like domestic violence and child abuse. His efforts in this arena have been recognized internationally, and he was even awarded “Person of the Year” from the International Association of Truancy and Dropout Prevention and was awarded the prestigious Sagamore of the Wabash Award presented by Governor Eric Holcomb.
Especially in times like these, it is critical to have leadership that is prepared for any scenario. I know Steve Nation has the skills necessary to tackle diverse problems like budget discrepancies, reviewing conflicts, and county resource funding. We would be well-positioned with him on the County Council, and I encourage you to consider voting for him this year.
To vote, you can vote by mail by requesting an absentee ballot from the Hamilton County Elections Office before May 21. You can find more information about how to vote at their website.
