I write this letter to recommend Bill Dingus to you. The Ohio primary draws ever closer and time has come for all primary voters to take a look at the state representative race in our region.

I have four reasons why I believe Bill Dingus is the man.

First, Bill deeply cares for the people in southern Ohio. He grew up among us and without a silver spoon. He is one of us, he understands what we face each day and he can relate to every individual, young or old and from any status. He will truly represent us in Columbus.

Second, Bill knows business. He gets it. We need jobs and Bill Dingus can deliver. If you, someone in your family or one of your neighbors remains unemployed, go to the voting booth on March 6 and vote Dingus. When you do that, you’re voting for jobs.

Next, Dingus understands education from kindergarten to university. We all know that teachers, budgets and schools have suffered in our area for the past 10 years. Dingus has a good education but what is more important is that he has worked in education. He knows how to marry education with business and grow our region.

Finally, Bill Dingus has integrity. He is a faithful family man, he is a man of faith and a man we can have faith in to do the job we ask him to do. In today’s politics, we need a state representative who owns no hint of scandal or shady deals.

In order to have a state representative who does the job the right way, I recommend you go to vote on March 6 and cast your ballot for Bill Dingus. He will stand for us.
