How arrogant. That is the only comment I have about someone starting a campaign two weeks before an election. Buzz Bailey claims to have more years of experience than the other candidates. The same can be said for the career politicians in Congress and we can see how well that is currently going. Buzz Bailey had a glaring error in judgment when he sent racist emails several years ago while in office. I haven’t forgotten that incident and I am sure many voters haven’t either. My trust is in Candidate William McCarty. He may not have years of experience but he will do the right thing for the county. William McCarty has my vote on Nov. 3.
