I spent the Memorial Day weekend perusing my sample ballot booklet and looking at the information on the candidates.

After reviewing this material and doing some additional online research, I am voting for Denise Loustalot for Lake County supervisor.

The position of county supervisor is very important for our Northshore communities. The person whom we elect as supervisor is our advocate for essential county services such as public safety, roads and code enforcement. Denise Loustalot is best equipped to fulfill this role.

Denise is an independent leader who is not beholden to the current incumbent or other county government insiders. She has a proven track record for success in both business and community service.

Most of all, I was impressed that Denise has shown the determination and work ethic to succeed in the male-dominated automotive business. That’s the kind of person I want our next county supervisor!

On June 5, I will be voting for Denise Loustalot for District 3 supervisor.
