To the Electors of Brussels
At the request of a number of village
residents, I have decided to seek the position
of Reeve of Brussels.
I feel that my years of operating a succes-
sful construction company in the Village of
Brussels and surrounding townships will aid me
if I am elected. I have served a term on the
Brussels Public SChool Board and served as a
member of the Brussels Fire Department for
several years. My coaching of hockey teams in
the Village of Brussels will be of assistance
to me in the field of public relations. I know
that there are many competent people in Brussels
from whom I can obtain sound advice. Should it
be necessary, I would not hesitate to seek and
assess that advice before forming my opinion.
With these considerations in mind, it is
my firm conviction that I can capably meet the
requirements necessary to fulfill the office of
reeve.
If elected I promise that I will: -
