After moving here and getting settled I decided to get involved any way I could to preserve the rural lifestyle, fresh air and unspoiled country living. One of the first people I met was Elizabeth Franklin through Fluvanna Taxpayers Association. I was impressed by her dedication and service to the citizens of Fluvanna while harnessing her journalistic background to ferret out the facts and make sure the county government was not going to repeat its recent missteps of overbuilding and overspending in the name of progress. Understandably so, this resonated well with me. It was an easy decision to lend my support to Elizabeth when I found out she would be running for the Columbia District’s Board of Supervisor seat.
I know that Elizabeth will always have the interests of the citizens and taxpayers in mind. She does the research, gets the facts and asks the tough questions. She not only is a great communicator but passionately cares that citizens be fully informed about county policies and actions affecting their lives and wallets. She already has alerted affected citizens in my district about possible mandatory public water hookups. Elizabeth is a true public servant and I know that I will sleep more comfortably at night once she is active on the Fluvanna Board of Supervisors. I invite all Columbia District residents to get to know Elizabeth in the coming weeks and decide for yourselves. She will be at Old Farm Day, the wine festival, and various meet and greets to reach out to her fellow constituents.
