Joe Marble Makes Bid to Retain Commissioner Seat

To the Citizens of Prowers County:  I am announcing my candidacy for re-election to the Prowers County Commissioner District 2 Seat. 

This is my second term as a County Commissioner.  During the last seven (7) years I have seen our County face many challenges – blizzards, tornadoes, drought and one of the worst recessions in the history of our Country.  The job as a Commissioner is rewarding because of the opportunity to work with all of the County’s Elected Officials and employees in bringing people and resources together as we move our County forward for future generations. 

Like all Commissioners, I serve on numerous other boards.  I enjoy working on behalf of all of the communities and citizens in Prowers County.  One of the biggest challenges which the Board of County Commissioners has is developing the County’s annual budget in conjunction with other Elected Officials and County Department Supervisors.  On this subject there is absolutely no substitute for experience.  In addition to serving as a Commissioner, I also served as a Lamar City Councilman for eight (8) years and believe that both positions have allowed me to learn a great deal about working with others to manage dwindling resources in a fiscally responsible manner without spending down all of our available reserves.  I believe that we have the responsibility to ensure that our children and our grandchildren have the opportunity to make a living and a life in Prowers County if they so choose. 

I am proud of my work during the last seven (7) years through the many challenges which we have faced.  I am committed to working on our behalf for another four (4) year term. 

Sincerely,
Joe D. Marble
