Doskor Hanchett, Jr for County Commissioner District 4

Vote for Doskor Hanchett, Jr. for County Commissioner District 4 and vote “Yes” on “Ballot Issue 1B” to repeal the deceptive “2010 Term Limit Ordnance”.

By becoming a supporter, you can become an even more important part of the political process.
