Scott R. Clark is the right choice

A voter should weigh the appropriate time for change in offices that don't attract attention but are critical to clean government. For recorder of deeds, our county should elect Scott R. Clark.

I have worked closely with Scott; he is among the most hard working, principled people I've known. Scott is the same at home or work. If this job requires something or restrains him, you can bet he will follow the law whether you like it or not.

Scott's upbringing was in a lumber business where hard work yielded the family's living; he is a self-made man who knows the day-to-day challenges of the average citizen.

I watched him treat his busy volunteer schedule as diligently as his graduate work or J.C. Penney's management responsibilities. He is unusually bright, he holding a master's degree in public administration. Learn more about Scott at www.facebook.com/clarkforrecorder. Be assured, no new candidate was ever more prepared for the recorder of deeds job. That's why I'll vote for him Nov. 2. You should too.
