Asheville, N.C. May 2, 2012 J.B. Howard candidate for chairman of Buncombe County Commissioners announces endorsement by former Candidate for Sherriff Dickie Green.
“I have known J.B. since our high school days at T.C. Roberson and during our law enforcement careers .J.B. is a true fiscal conservative with strong Christian family values and morals. He has a proven track record as a local business man and has solid leadership qualities we need in local county government. J.B. will be a true and honest voice representing all of the citizens of Buncombe County fairly and equal. He will be a watch-dog for the tax payers and will be an objective not a subjective leader.
Don’t confuse me with the facts, I already have my mind made up seems to be the attitude of our current County Commission Chair and I know without any hesitation that J.B. will listen and ask for citizen input before making decisions that will affect the people he will be representing.
I fully support J.B. Howard for chairman of the Buncombe County Commissioners and I encourage you to do the same”
