To the editor: Tom Coleman will absolutely flourish in the role of county supervisor. He’s value and character driven.

Impressed by Supervisor Conrad

To the editor: Having watched Niki Conrad serve her first term as the District 4 supervisor for the Webster County Board of Supervisors, I have been particularly impressed with her work ethic, her ability to be transparent and her desire to make a positive difference in the lives of the constituents she serves. Niki is an independent thinker who is willing to discuss any issue with the people with whom she comes in contact and take their opinions into consideration when she decides. One of her passions when she was running for office was to learn to be transparent so her constituents ...
