Hamilton County Commissioners Jim Coppinger and Richard Casavant have made it official that each would like to serve another four-year term in office.
“If voters give me another term as District 2’s Hamilton County commissioner, I reaffirm my sincere commitment to do my part in making Hamilton County a highly desirable place to live, work, and play,” Dr. Casavant said in a statement. “The stage is set for a more prosperous, growing local economy, which will depend on an educated, trainable work force.”
Dr. Casavant said he wants to join with parents and teachers “to support schools with high expectations and standards.”
In his announcement, Mr. Coppinger said he also will push for education and economic growth.
“It is vital for the prosperity of our children that we improve our schools,” he said. “Unlike most of the nation, we have unique opportunities with the coming arrival of the VW plant and related businesses, and we must have a trainable work force in Hamilton County in order to fill those jobs on the horizon.”
