Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter to express my support for our current County Commissioner Marie Mornis in the upcoming June Primary.

As a citizen of Gilpin County I believe that it is important to elect leaders that “hold themselves” accountable and to the highest standards!

For several years now I have had the pleasure of working with Marie in several capacities. I have also gotten to know her as a friend and a neighbor. I have witnessed a very mature and humble woman who lives and works with the utmost integrity in everything she does!

Marie Mornis has proven herself to be totally trustworthy while she works for the greater good of our community. Protecting our rural lifestyle here in Gilpin....AND.... being financially responsible with our tax dollars has been at the forefront of Marie’s time as Commissioner.

I can confidently say that Marie Mornis possesses the necessary qualities and experience to continue as our County Commissioner. She brings an unwavering allegiance to her job currently and her honesty and credibility can only impact our county and its citizens in a positive way!

If you want to see honest, ethical and hardworking people in our local government then join me in supporting Marie Mornis in the June Primary!
