Ric Smith has proven track record

Editor,

I have known Ric Smith since 1981 when he began his career in real estate. From day one, I knew Ric was an intelligent, ethical, and hard working agent who always put the needs of his clients first.

This is why now, 25 years later, he owns the successful real estate company he started in. Over the years, Ric has provided jobs and made a very positive economic impact on our community.

His business also is one of the most generous in the community when it comes to volunteering employees' time and donating to worthwhile causes. I know that Ric works hard in his business not just to make money, but to provide more for our community.

Ric is running for the State Senate in District 5, and if his leadership as a State Senator is anything like the leadership he provided as a small business owner, I know our State will be in good hands.

I will be voting for Ric Smith on Nov. 7. I urge you to join me.
