Thank you to the voters and the many volunteers who helped to make my recent campaign for the District 1 seat on the Ada County Commission a success. I did not seek endorsements or accept PAC money from special interest groups so with a $6500 campaign, it took a herculean effort by dedicated volunteers to win a countywide race. In the end, we received the only endorsement that counts: that of the voters.

I am looking forward to working with Commissioners Fred Tilman and Rick Yzaguirre on issues of importance to Ada County residents, including trimming spending, prioritizing public safety, and ensuring we have open, accountable, accessible government.

It is my hope that my colleagues and I will have your continued support. Our job is to serve you, which can best be achieved with your input and guidance. Please feel free to contact me at (208) 362-0843 or sharonu@cableone.net and watch my website, http://www.sharonu.com for news of a new blog I intend to launch in the near future.

Thank you again, to everyone who participated in the recent election. I am looking forward with anticipation to a bright future for the residents of Ada County.

Sharon Ullman
