Newton County BOC 5: The Choice Is Clear - LeAnne Long

 Howdy, Folks, and welcome back. 

As we find ourselves at the end of early voting - and in preparation of Voting Day, Tuesday May 21st - TPC, and its Editor MB McCart, would like to relay the following: 

While this publication has previously written about why "William" Keith Ellis is NOT the one to lead the 5th district of the Newton County Board of Commissioners into 2025 & beyond, we did want to state why LeAnne Long is the right person for this all-too-important position. 

But first. The key reason why her opponent needs not be elected: 

William Thomas "Tommy" Craig, Esq

And yes, while I know that Keith has publicly stated more than once that he will not attempt to bring Tommy back as the home county's attorney, one should be sure to carefully analyze his words. Maybe not Tommy, per se, but what about his firm? What of his son? 

Those are the questions, in my opinion, that need to be asked. 

And, while it may seem to stretch any reasonable imagination or possibility, there does seem to be a belief by some that somehow the Bear Creek Reservoir could possibly be resurrected if Keith were to win. 

Look at the usual suspects. E.g. those that signed off on Keith's mailer last week

LeAnne Long - The Right Candidate at The Right Time

I've known LeAnne for right at 25 years. 

I've always appreciated her for who she is & have always admired her willingness to always tell it how it is, as well as her tenacity, grit & work ethic. 

She's legit. 

She's experienced; she's previously served in elected office back in the late 90s. 

And she's an advocate. As many know, she has been on the front lines of the battle against irresponsible development time & time again over the years. 

Again, my friends, in my sincere estimation, she is the Clear Choice for BOC 5

This election is so very important. Truly hope things will turn out as they should & I believe they will. 

For the home county,
