Not a long post tonight, I have been sending out emails to friends and supporters. For those who haven't been following the Lake County Clerk's website breathlessly this evening, I placed fifth in a the field with 12.70% of the vote. That is 374 out of 2,944 votes cast.
Not bad for someone who was a complete unknown just a few months ago.
Congratulations to Al Hill and Lloyd DeTienne for their wins tonight, and also our hope that they will serve the City of Zion well for the next four years.
I will probably have some final thoughts on the campaign, but not tonight. I have to go back to work in the morning.
To everyone who cast a vote in this election, thank you.
Sincerely,
Christopher Fischer
thank you Very much Mr. Fischer for your willingness to run for an office in zion, for posting your thought AND especially for describing your experiences as a "new" appointee. It
ReplyDeletePointed out the LACK of COMMUNICATION between Zion officials and the jpeople they serve. Thank you for going to the board meeting , although they never advised you personally of it's date nor had they even advised the Water dept. of your appt. There was supposed to be more Transparency in Zion's government but your experience shows there NEEDS TO Be COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN elected officials and then down the line. Another person might have just accepted the appointment and sat home WAITING to be notified of meetings etc. I'm sorry you didn't win the election. After meeting your lovely wife and her plugging you, I DID VOTE for you. Please continue your public interest and DO RUN AGAIN and I hope you become better known. I think your blog will help you. I'll be praying for your continued participation and success. God bless you and the Mrs.
Thank You for your support, and kind words. That kind of encouragement from you, and others will be a major factor if I run for Commissioner again in two years.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime I will do my best to serve the public in the capacity of Trustee for the Lake Count Public Water District, and I will continue to communicate with anyone who is seriously interested in making Zion a better place to live.
Thanks again,
Chris
