Ashland City Council President, Steve Workman gives Milton Township Trustee, Deb Wertz an awesome endorsement for her reelection campaign in a Facebook post today.
Endorsement reads as follows:
“It is without hesitation that I endorse Debbie Wertz for re-election as Milton Township Trustee. In working directly with Mrs. Wertz on the Ashland County Planning Commission, I know her to be a person of high character and integrity. She is always prepared and committed to serving the people of Milton Township, and Ashland County overall. With the future growth of the Ashland area looking brighter than ever, we need a servant-leader like Deb Wertz. For these reasons I urge the voters of Milton Township to re-elect Deb Wertz as your trustee.”
