Tremendous respect for Amy Jones

It was a pleasure working with Amy Jones while planning the inaugural United Way's New Year's Eve fundraiser. I gained tremendous respect for Amy during our daily conversations. She was extremely committed and creative -- making the event a tremendous success.

Amy successfully juggles home life, volunteer work and professional duties. She will approach the office of county assessor with the poise and energy I have come to know from her -- respectful of others, listens to all ideas, is a well-thought decision maker, resourceful problem solver, positive manager and is fiscally responsible.

Vote for Amy Jones -- Tuesday.
