A personal message from Denise:

To the Citizens of Otsego County,

I believe my vast professional experience bodes well for my political aspirations. I will bring a commonsense approach to decisions that impact the residents of Otsego County. As a patriot, I know the importance of proper representation by local officials and I am committed to an agenda of transparency, fiscal responsibility and America First initiatives.

If the Covid-19 Pandemic has taught us anything, it's that local officials have far more of an impact on our day-to-day lives than we could have ever imagined. Draconian lockdowns,  mask mandates and unfair burdens placed on small businesses has resulted in closed businesses, developmentally delayed children, and an economic downtrend that will take years to correct. Otsego County has many diverse needs and I will focus on improving life for all of its residents and small businesses. As your next County Commissioner, I will work to prioritize projects that will benefit everyone in Otsego County while keeping taxes low and affordable for the families and businesses in our community.

Electing people with like-minded views on individual liberties and personal freedoms is more vital than ever. I can no longer stay complacent and feel compelled to get involved. If elected, I will be dedicated to representing the patriotic, America-loving, freedom fighters of Otsego County in every decision that comes before me on the Otsego County Board of Commissioners.

I would greatly appreciate your support and your vote in the primary election on August 2, 2022 and hopefully the general election on November 8, 2022!

THANK YOU!

Sincerely,
