Editor, Gazette-Journal:

We are registered Republicans and have always voted for our party’s nominee. However, this year we will be voting for Kevin Smith (independent) for the at-large seat on the Gloucester County Board of Supervisors.

As incumbent, Kevin has fulfilled his responsibilities to Gloucester County honorably and faithfully. He is committed to doing the will of the people, not what is politically expedient. I have known Kevin on a personal basis and have observed his performance in the workplace. His character is beyond reproach, and he can be trusted to keep his word.

Please vote for Kevin Smith so he can continue his work serving all the citizens of Gloucester County as amember of the Board of Supervisors.

Louis and Carol PatnodeHayes, Va.
