Dear Editor:

When I made the announcement on January 7, 2012 that I would be seeking the seat of County Commissioner for District 2, little did I know how humbled I would find myself as the outpouring of support came my way throughout the Precinct Caucus, County Assembly and finally the Primary Election.

I wish to thank the people in this county from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to talk with me and finding what are my core principles. I am most grateful for those of you that took time to come by to get one of my signs for your property. Now that the Primary has passed and I have been named as the only candidate for District 2, I feel that it is appropriate for me to collect my signs and restore the county to an uncluttered state. If you have one of my signs, I ask that you either call me to come retrieve it or remove it yourself and hang on to it for my possible re-election campaign in 4 years.

Again, I wish to thank all of you for your encouragement and support in my bid for District 2 Montezuma County Commission.

Most Sincerely,
Keenan G. Ertel
