I am personally endorsing Collin because I have seen first-hand a leader who is in public service for the right reasons. He is young, bright, energetic and, most of all, he has integrity and a strong character.
Today more than ever we need leaders who have the public good as their north star. Collin Van Meter is such a leader. I work with Collin as a fellow trustee on the State University Retirement System (SURS) board, and I have seen how Collin approaches challenges, seeks to build consensus around solutions, and keeps faithful to the idea that public service is about helping those we serve.
I am thrilled that Collin is stepping up to make Madison County better.
