The last day to sign up to run in the primary election for county council was today. Doug found out early this afternoon that he is the only Republican candidate in his district running. Almost 75% of Kosciusko County is registered Republican, so as of now it sure looks as though he will be re-elected next November. I am thrilled that he is going to hold on to this office. Doug is a perfect fit for it as a large part of the responsibilities are financial. He is a wonderful leader in our community and I am glad that he gets another chance to serve.
Doug is also a great role model for his children. The more time he devotes to helping those in our county, being an actively involved father, holding a key position at Renegade, the more it benefits our children. They are firsthand witnesses to the skills needed to be a leader. I know that has been influential in a lot of the decisions that they have made. Brett's success in college, running for office in his dorm, joining civic groups, and lectoring at church stems largely from the support he has received from Doug. This week I heard Doug encourage Cal to work on his leadership skills both on the basketball floor and in his studies. Meg has had a spectacular week enjoying success in band, piano, the spelling bee and basketball. Cameron is growing ever more confident in his choice of friends, school and extracurricular activities. I know without Doug's support none of them would be the successful, high achieving children that they are. As always I am incredibly proud of the Heinisch children and their father.
