I have known Gene Dornick for a long time. I grew up with his wife’s family in LeRoy. One of their sons was even the ring bearer at our wedding 18 years ago. Gene is an honest, faithful and hard-working person who will bring those same attributes to our government when elected.

Like a lot of people, I was very frustrated this year when our state government was unable to pass a bonding bill. This affected several local projects. Gene has shown that when there is a problem or a need, he can find an answer or solution. He is also willing to work as hard as needed to be a part of those answers and solutions. He is a God-loving man with the needs of our families and communities as his top priority.

I ask that you vote no to the status quo and vote for Gene Dornick for Senate District 27 at our election Nov. 8.
