Dear Supporters,

Thank you! I appreciate your personal endeavors to help elect me to the Marion County Commission. It was a close race, with the final election results as follows: Stone 51%, Strickland 49% or 420 votes separating my opponent and I. This should not be taken lightly, as it shows your discontent with our elected officials. Competition produces a better product and I know Charlie Stone will be a better County Commissioner because of this process.

Going forward, we need to support and help our County Commissioners in making the right choices for the people of Marion County. Please remember our campaign slogan, "Making Marion Better" and I hope that you commit to doing a personal daily deed that will help to accomplish this goal. I will continue to do my part.

Once again, thank you for your support and vote,

Ray Strickland
