Many thanks to the voters and those who supported my campaign for Union Township Trustee. Some made herculean efforts and all amounts of support were greatly appreciated. No campaign is a one-man show. A successful campaign requires a team of dedicated volunteers. You are the winners.
John Becker.
Since the election, I’ve been busy disassembling The Becker-Mobile (removing the 4×8 Becker sign (complete with lights) mounted 10 feet high in my F150), collecting signs, returning congratulatory calls, texts, and emails, putting away campaign materials, and getting my life back to normal.
Congratulations to Joe Dills who came in first place by a wide margin in this “pick two” election. (He worked the campaign hard and he earned it.) I am very much looking forward to working with him and Trustee Michael Logue beginning in January 2022. Additionally, I’m also looking forward to working with the entire Union Township administration team. They are all very fine people.
The other three candidates deserve praise for running strong and clean campaigns focused on their strengths and the issues. They are all good men and I wish them well.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be setting up meetings with the fiscal officer, each department head, and union leaders to hear their suggestions and concerns. I intend to do a deep-dive into our zoning policies, assessing the possibility of placing recycling bins near the service garage, installing speed tables in various neighborhoods, and allowing CCW permit holders to carry concealed in the Union Township government buildings. (Ohio law allows open carry of firearms in most government buildings and permits the trustees to allow concealed carry for CCW permit holders. Schools are excluded.)
This is just the beginning. I intend to submit regular updates to The Clermont Sun to help keep everybody in the loop.
