SAM BRENTANO, PLEDGE TO MARION COUNTY

I believe we need to make government accountable to the citizens it serves, work with the business community to help them create and retain jobs, and to continue to protect and improve the livability of Marion County, a place we all cherish. I will do my best to apply these three objectives when making decisions about our county.

SAM BRENTANO, CUT GOVERNMENT WASTE

Government must live within its means and as a longtime businessman Sam understands this. Government employees arent the
problem, lack of fiscal restraint is. Sam will work to ensure government provides the services you expect while keeping his eye on
the bottom line.

As Mayor of Sublimity, Sam Brentano always balanced the citys
budget within existing revenues. He will do the same as
County Commissioner.

SAM BRENTANO, CREATE AND RETAIN JOBS

As a local business owner Sam has created hundreds of jobs in Marion County. He understands the role of govenrment is to create an environment where businesses succeed and grow.

Sam Brentano has a proven track record as a businessperson. I know he will work with local business to remove layers of regulation that impede business growth and help attract new business.
