I would like to submit the following opinion letter to the editor:

I am a biased citizen who would like to voice my support for Robert Riepenhoff for Putnam County Commissioner.  I am biased because I am one of his daughters, but I am supportive because I did volunteer work in the Commissioner's office last spring and I was able to see his work first-hand.

What I respect most about my Dad is that he has always been a fighter for the individual.  He is knowledgeable and experienced and even though you might not agree with him all the time, he has thought out his position after listening to all sides.  The motto he taught me to live by is to "leave the world a better place than you found it" and I believe he lives by this motto.  As an observant citizen, I think he is truly the best candidate for commissioner.
