Dairy Farmer's Thankful Thursday

January 1 started a new year and a new term of serving in the 

position of Justice of the Peace, District 9 in Benton County.

Although this was the fourth time I have been sworn into office,

I am very thankful 

for the experience and opportunity to continue  representing 

the citizens of Benton County,

  

and

to share this moment in time with my Mother,

who encourages, supports and provides a wealth of knowledge 

from her years of service in city and county government.

Dairymom's Thankful Thursday

Even though I have been serving in this position of Justice of the Peace

 for nearly six years,this was the first year I had a campaign.

From the filing day in February to November 6th,

I have gained new appreciation for the entire process of a campaign.

The best part of campaigning was meeting new people that live in my district.

I appreciate all those who allowed me a spot for signs on their property, 

for the politeness of those who answered the knock on their door

and accepted my card or took a moment to talk about how I could

represent their interests.

I'm thankful the campaign is over and grateful for the opportunity

 to continue serving the citizens of Benton County.

Most of all, I'm thankful for the blessings I receive daily

as a citizen legislator in Benton County,

                                                     
                                                                       a dairy  farmer,
                                                                              and
                                                                       

                                                             Sheriff Callie's Grandma!

Dairymom's Thankful Thursday

 As I made my way to the County Administration Building on Monday  to file for the 2014 election, I thought a lot about what a privilege and honor it is to serve  as Justice of Peace for District 9.

 

 

I'm thankful for the opportunity to represent Benton County residents  as a citizen legislator.
