Dear Editor,

In 2008, I retired from a 33-year public service career. We have made Hudson our home for 32 of those years and the following are some of my past community service contributions:

  • 13-year member of the town of Hudson Plan Commission;

  • President of the River Falls Lions Club (we founded the Hudson Lions Club);

  • Founding member of the Hudson Lions Club;

  • Vice president of the Hudson Soccer Association.

  • Numerous years of coaching youth baseball, softball and soccer;

  • Development Committee member for the Hudson Soccer Association Field of Dreams soccer park;

  • Member of numerous local church committees and volunteer efforts. Now that I have retired, I am eager to continue service to my local community and I affirm my candidacy for chair of the town of Hudson.

    On the cover, it appears that town salaries are the primary campaign issue for the April 7 election. Salaries are not the main issue, leadership is. I have the time, energy and experience necessary to lead. Leadership is about having the courage to lead by consistency and transparency. It is about having the courage to lead respectfully and with humility for those you serve. And lastly, it is about understanding how the world, nation, state and county economic conditions influence operational decisions for the town of Hudson.

    I can provide leadership, I will provide leadership and I am prepared to provide the leadership necessary to govern our town. Vote for me along with Dave Bartizal and Todd Mullinax on April 7. Together, we will lead and deliver a more respectful, responsive and friendly government for our residents.

    I invite your questions and comments. Call (715) 386-6133, e-mail greggwhite@hotmail.com, visit www.greggwhite.web.officelive.com or visit at our home, 831 Kelly Road.
