Joni!!! We love you!!!

Last night the 2nd District Executive Committee met to elect a replacement for me on the State Central Committee. The winner on the third ballot was my friend Joni Scotter of Linn County. Joni ran against Trudy Caviness of Wapello County and Sarah Henderson of Linn County. It was a close race between three very capable and well-liked women from our district and Joni won on the third ballot.

I remember when I returned to Iowa and joined the Linn County Central Committee. Joni was one of the first Republicans I got to know. Joni has a way of making everyone feel welcome with a hug and a kind word. Over the years, I learned that there is no one in Iowa politics who is a more dedicated volunteer than Joni. She is a tireless worker an able to motivate others to do the same. Brent Oleson has a post about Joni over at The Marion Contrarian. I am sure that Brent is not the only candidate who can say that Joni is one of his top supporters.

Joni brings to the State Central Committee, the perspective of a totally committed grassroots volunteer with years of experience. She not only talks the talk but she walks the walk.

Good Luck — and Joni, WE LOVE YOU!!!
