Dear Friend,
Like you, I want the best quality of life in our neighborhoods and community. Our County is rapidly growing, and the challenges of development are upon us. 
As a Fort Meade City Commissioner and Mayor, I have worked diligently to control spending and reduce our tax rate. In the past 12 years we have boosted our quality of life; improved our roads, drainage and infrastructure; strengthened our business community and found a balance between our traditional neighborhoods and the needs of economic development.
We have put the policies and programs in place that allow our City to thrive today. I’m ready to put my experience to work for you as your next County Commissioner. It will take your support to achieve this feat, but together we can build a foundation to allow Polk County to prosper. As your County Commissioner I will work hard to diversify the economic development of our County, improve our quality of life, and balance the preservation of our environment with the needs of new development.
I would appreciate your vote.
Sincerely

Meade, she will bring fiscal responsibility to the Polk County Commission, fight to keep property taxes down and spend your dollars where they make the most sense.
