1. What is the most important issue facing Perry County Memorial Hospital? I feel that we need to continue to grow and provide great health care services.

2. What in your background or education makes you qualified for this office? I feel that I am a young and very energetic person who will go and fight for what I believe in. I am not educated in the medical field, but I am in the business field and I know how to treat people. And that should be the main issue here, taking care of the people of Perryville.

3. Why are you better qualified than your opponents? I feel that I am better qualified than my opponents because I am just a regular member of the community and not part of some other medical field. I am here to listen to what the community has to say and try my best to make it happen. Health care is one of the most important things in life except for your family. But if you're not healthy enough to be able to be with your family then your health becomes pretty important. If you want someone who is not afraid to stand up and fight for what is right, then vote for me, Michael W. Ochs Jr., for Perry County Memorial Hospital.
