Gratitude to voters
The election gave the county new voices on school boards and political leadership. I had calls from Republican Crossovers and new Democrat converts. Thanks to the Alexandria Times-Tribune and their support, we are becoming a one voice America First people. I was surprised and will be eternally grateful to those that expressed their overwhelming support in the primary. My military history, my mental health and law enforcement experiences, point to my claim that “I was Born to Serve” as a Christian Democrat.
Thank you for your vote and my opportunity to honor you and your families on the November ballot.
James Ramsey,
Candidate for County Commissioner

Thank you Alexandria
I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who supported me during the recent victory for school board. I want to say thanks to Nancy Cook for the t-shirts, Bob Stinson for the buttons, Ron and Pam Richardson for the monetary donation, Denise Ferris, Lakeley Brown, Zeb Clark, Bob Rogers, Todd Dowing, my husband Dan, daughter Megan and my parents Jim and Lynne King for helping at the polling sites.
Thanks also go to everyone who allowed me to place a sign in their yard. I wish to express how much it meant having my parents, Jim and Lynne King, husband Dan and daughters Lauren and Megan for believing in me, encouraging, supporting and loving me during all of this. Thank you. I love you. I also want to thank my sister and brother along with their families and my church family for all the support. It is very heartfelt.
I am honored to have been elected by the community to serve in this position. I look forward to serving our school system the next four years.

Teacher Appreciation
The Alexandria Education Association would like to thank everyone who took time last week to recognize the dedicated teachers and fine support staff of the Alexandria School Corporation for Teacher Appreciation Week. Our mayor, superintendent, each administrator, our schools' student councils, and many individual parents took the time to let us know they care and support all we are doing in the classroom for our students. Thank you to all who took the time to express your appreciation … it was deeply appreciated!
