ELECTION LETTER: Pick the nurse, the midwife, the dance teacher for commissioner

Posted

I was happy to see that almost half the primary votes went to Cheri Van Hoover.

Anyone who has attended the forums, met her as she canvassed neighborhoods or has had an opportunity to spend time with her in the county is impressed by her dedication to healthcare.

She chose her profession as a midwife, registered nurse and teacher to help people lead healthy lives. She will bring her years of experience, her energy and compassion to our hospital board.

Please join me and the thousands of voters who will elect Cheri Van Hoover as hospital commissioner.
