My family and I have lived in IOW for 36 years. During that time, stability in all aspects of our lives has been pretty constant. Our daughter, Allison, attended public schools, which served her well. My husband was a public school principal and I taught in the county’s school system. The Sheriff’s department kept the criminals at bay and the Rescue Squad was readily available and well-skilled for any emergency.

The judicial system worked well and continues to do so with the expert and conscientious efforts of the Commonwealth’s Attorney, Georgette Phillips. The Sheriff’s Department is very efficient and operates under the expertise of Mark Marshall.

As a citizen of this fine county, I support Georgette Phillips as our next Commonwealth’s Attorney. And I support Mark Marshall to continue in his role of keeping us safe. The county deserves the best, and they fit that bill.
