Derkevorkian: Vote for Peter Micciche for Kenai mayor

11

By RICHARD DERKEVORKIAN

As residents of the Kenai Peninsula Borough, we face many challenges, but with Peter Micciche at the helm, I am confident that we can overcome them. Peter has a proven track record of putting the needs of the community first and working tirelessly to deliver results. With his extensive knowledge of the borough and his commitment to responsible governance, Peter is the clear choice to lead us forward.

As a conservative leader, Peter understands the importance of fiscal responsibility and limited government. As the mayor of Soldotna he cut taxes three times. He will work to ensure that your tax dollars are being used effectively and efficiently, while also protecting your personal liberties. His conservative principles and strong leadership skills will help to promote a business-friendly environment and encourage economic growth, ensuring that the Kenai Borough continues to thrive.

While it may be tempting to write in a candidate that you may view as more conservative than Peter, it is important to remember that this could actually help his opponents. In elections, a split in the vote can lead to the election of a candidate who is not representative of the majority of the voters. Writing in a candidate takes away from the strength of the conservative vote, and could lead to unintended consequences. 

By voting for Peter, we can ensure that our voice is heard and that the borough continues to move forward under strong conservative leadership. So if you want a borough that is moving forward, thriving, and true to its conservative roots, join me in voting for Peter A. Micciche on election day.
