Dear Friends:
Since 2007, you have trusted me with the privilege of serving as Allen County Recorder. I have worked hard to repay that trust by delivering on bold commitments to build a Recorder’s Office that is faster, more customer-focused and far less costly to taxpayers.
The results speak for themselves: A leaner office now providing service in hours instead of days or weeks. A 73 percent drop in consumption of your tax dollars. An array of new technologies that allow you to do anything with the Recorder’s Office without ever having to come downtown. An award-winning portfolio of projects, many implemented for the first time in Allen County, which protect consumers and improve life in our community’s neighborhoods.
Much of what we have accomplished is unmatched anywhere in local government. We have set the example for how county government can do its job in new and more effective ways, without controversy, delay or runaway cost. This is an example I would like to put to work for Allen County Government as a whole. That is why I have chosen to run for Allen County Commissioner in 2012.
I am running for Commissioner because I believe government’s most important job is to deliver services at the lowest cost to taxpayers. To do that, we MUST streamline county government and recognize long-overdue needs for change. We MUST be more proactive in our pursuit of economic development to attract the jobs our community wants and needs. Most importantly, we MUST institute a culture of “Yes!” in county government that gives employees maximum flexibility to meet the needs of their customers - the citizens and businesses of Allen County.
Allen County needs leaders willing to redesign and remake government when opportunities arise and the benefits are indisputable. I am that kind of leader and I need your help.
Today I ask you to consider making a contribution to my 2012 campaign (you can donate online by clicking the button below), an investment that will help me realize the vision we all share for what Allen County Government can and should be.
If you are tired of the noise, the bickering, the waste of our shared resources and of government spending too much time thinking of itself and too little time concerned about the community, we can do something about it – together.
You can learn much more about my candidacy, my record and the ideas I intend to fight for online at www.johnmcgauley.com. I hope you will take a few minutes to see why I am the best choice for Allen County Commissioner in 2012.
Sincerely,
John McGauley
Allen County Recorder and Candidate for Allen County Commissioner
