Reisinger is a 21st century man

While Drew Reisinger’s accomplishments as register of deeds are impressive, they are not the least bit surprising. I had the privilege of working with Drew before he was elected to public office and was always struck by his energy, his creativity in addressing a challenge, and his ability to lead and inspire others while still playing solidly for the team.

Drew has demonstrated how elected officials can function in a common-sense, non-partisan manner to create change that benefits everyone. Who can argue with streamlining operations to save money? Drew reduced his office’s budget by over $200,000. Who can argue with better accommodating a diverse constituency? Spanish translation services are now available in person, over the phone and online. Who can argue with removing barriers to payment? Drew’s office now takes debit/credit cards. Who can argue with harnessing technology to improve service delivery? The register of deeds website is now a genuine resource, not a confusing maze.

Thanks to Drew, the register of deeds is now a 21st century operation that addresses the needs of today’s Buncombe County citizens. He deserves your vote.
