To the Editor,

In the contest for Surry County Register of Deeds, I will be voting for Carolyn Comer. When I was County Manager, I worked with Carolyn every year as she prepared and managed the budget for her Office. She always developed a low-cost, bare-bones budget, while assuring that her Office would continue to run efficiently. Whenever she had an opportunity to cut costs, she did so. During the year, she would give the County Commissioners a monthly report on her Office’s revenues, compared to the previous year, so that they could keep track of the fees that largely support her Office. Carolyn runs an efficient, “no drama” Office, so I will be voting for a real Conservative and a great public servant — Carolyn Comer.
