Submitted“New Leadership for a Brighter Future”As the election year is getting underway and all candidate entries have been received, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I moved to Hays nearly 10 years ago to attend Fort Hays State University. It was there that I met my husband and after graduation, we decided to plant our roots in Ellis County. We have a young daughter whom we wish to raise in a community that will foster and develop her into a strong young woman with small-town values.I believe the way to a brighter future in Ellis County is through cooperative leadership and continued investment in our community. As your Treasurer, it will be my goal to promote economic growth and stability and pledge to end wasteful spending and misuse of county tax dollars. I passionately believe that it is only through the cooperation and togetherness of all county offices and officials that we can lead Ellis County into a brighter future.Please visit my website <a href="http://www.VoteMercer.com">www.VoteMercer.com</a> and I am available for contact by email at julie@votemercer.com.Thank you for your consideration,Julie Mercer, Ellis County Treasurer Candidate
