Looking ahead to the county recorder election

Dianne Riley, Osceola

It will soon be time to exercise our right to vote for whom we think will be the best candidate. I have known both Selena Humphrey and Peggy Cummings on a professional basis, when Selena was the administrator at our local nursing home and when Peggy was the administrator of the General Relief/ Veteran’s Affairs county office. Both were exceptional to work with and I felt did a very good job in those positions.

As I read the interviews in the October 13, 2022, Osceola Sentinel-Tribune, I noticed a red flag for me. When Peggy Cummings was asked what made her the best candidate for the job, she stated “I do this, not as a Democrat or Republican, but as the Clarke County Recorder. Selena answered the same question with this answer " I am running for Clarke County Recorder to broaden my horizons and to support the Republican Party. Personally, I want a county recorder who is going to support all of the citizens of Clarke County. My vote will be for Peggy Cummings.
