"We are fortunate in Johnson County to have so many excellent candidates for the various offices up for election this cycle. Sometimes it is hard to decide who deserves our vote. I do not have that problem with the Johnson County Board of Supervisors' race this year. I am voting for Janelle Rettig because I strongly believe that actions speak louder than words. It is one thing to acknowledge and talk about those struggling to put a roof over their head or food on their table, and Janelle pushed hard to increase the minimum wage in Johnson County, and even though the state took it away, she encouraged local businesses to continue paying a higher wage, and many have. Janelle also has fought for increases in funding for social services, affordable housing, mental health, and disability services. She is conscious of the many resources in our area, and has worked tirelessly for sustainability by encouraging solar panels for county buildings, building greener roads and bridges, and adding conservation acres and trails. She does all this while remaining fiscally responsible. She promoted a finance department that has balanced every budget while lowering overall county debt. I encourage you to join me in voting for Janelle Rettig on or before June 5 for supervisor."
