Voting for Tarkanian
Editor:
As another election season quickly approaches, choosing who should lead and represent our interests in the county commission has never been clearer. I am writing to let you know how much I can support the re-election of Danny Tarkanian, who has continually provided outstanding transparency and continuous engagement with his constituents. Mr. Tarkanian has championed the cause of open government, ensuring that decisions–making processes visible, accessible, and understandable to all residents.
Mr. Tarkanian holds regular town halls and an annual Tark in the Park barbeque and returns messages left by his constituents. Through these efforts, Mr. Tarkanian has opened up dialogue and invited feedback and participation from the community on policy decisions that affect us all. At a time when public trust is at a historic low, having a leader who not only talks about transparency but actively enforces it is invaluable.
I have been impressed by Mr. Tarkanian’s willingness to listen, learn, and adapt—to input received by the community. He has often challenged county staff and other commissioners based on this public input.
I encourage you to support the re-election of a proven leader whose actions align with our values. Our community deserves a representative who promises and delivers transparency and engagement. Let’s vote to maintain this standard of leadership that actively empowers its citizens.
Mike and Terry Gump
