Citizens of Turner,

Our community needs someone with youthful insight and enthusiasm on our city council. I believe that I am that person. I was raised here and believe it is a wonderful place to live.

I have held leadership positions throughout high school and college and I am familiar with city government through study. If given the opportunity, I will embrace all the facets of the position.

As one of the organizers for the Tune Town Music Festival in Turner, my belief in community spirit has grown. It was inspiring to see so many community members helping the festival and the park. During the festival, people on both sides of issues worked together to accomplish something positive for Turner. I am determined to continue this spirit of community. Together, we can improve our town.

I am aware of the divisive issues that have faced this town and have polarized community members. I have always thought that these divisions among us have made people lose sight of what, as a community, we can accomplish. It is important for the community to move beyond the issues that have divided us in the past. We need to look to the future and decide what is best for Turner as a whole.

As a councilor, I will take each proposal individually and decide what is in the best interests of the entire town, not just certain individuals or groups. I look forward to serving the members of this community. I urge all of you to do your part and please register to vote. Turner’s future should be important to us all.

Sincerely,

Carly
