As a small-business owner, he has had the opportunity to meet many people across the county and being a curious and concerned person, he enjoys talking to the people he meets. He truly has his fingers on the pulse of the county. Brad is a fiscal conservative who drives a Prius, owns a wind turbine and installs solar arrays. You don’t get much more rounded than that.

He will listen to all sides before making a decision that can affect the county for years to come. Brad has said that “if businesses prosper, then families will prosper and when families prosper, the county will prosper.” That’s what we need: a vibrant, prosperous county and all that comes with it.

Brad is forward thinking and wants La Plata County to be the best place to raise his grandchildren and yours. That’s why I’m voting and encourage you to vote for Brad Blake for county commissioner.
