We in St. Louis County are fortunate to have Melanie Ford as our county attorney. She has so many creative ideas and is working tirelessly with others to make life better for all of us.
As a retired school principal, I have spent my career advocating for our young people. I am totally impressed with Ford's commitment to working with area school personnel to help our youth, to reduce truancy and to prevent young people from entering the detention system. Being tough on crime can mean working hard to keep people from committing crimes. Research supports her efforts in making a positive difference for future generations.
County voters can join me in reelecting Melanie Ford in November. Our children and our future need her now.
