Represent all of us, all the time

We, in District 146, made up of Jackson and Cape Girardeau County, not including the city of Cape Girardeau, deserve a representative at state that will represent all of us. Not someone who would collect signatures for a group to force a costly election on the city of Jackson that we, the taxpayers, will have to pay for. Not someone who also has a family member at this time in litigation against the city.

Wherever we live in Cape County, Oak Ridge or Delta and, in this case, Fruitland area vs. Jackson, do not try to divide us. Parting and pitting groups or areas of taxpayers in the District 146 to vote for or against one another is not representing the whole district.

This is why I will be voting for Gerald Adams. I'm hoping you will join my friends and me and go vote for Gerald Adams, a conservative who is used to a hard day's work and years of community service. Gerald has worked with our youths, including his years in American Legion baseball. He's also worked for them in education as a member of the Jackson School Board, the largest school district in Southeast Missouri with a more than $40 million budget. Gerald knows how to stretch a buck and look after your tax dollars. Gerald will represent all the people of his district and work for the betterment of everyone.
