Letter: Vote Matt Jacowski for Portage County Executive
To the Editor:
Who is Matt Jacowski?
A homegrown, caring, hard working educator with an incredible balance of Portage County values; a balance we need to help move this County into the future. As a lifelong Portage County resident growing up on a small fourth generation family farm, his father, a World War II veteran raised him with a deep respect, for family, country, veterans, education and community! He worked his way through college becoming a Technology & Engineering Instructor. In 2004, Fox Valley Technical College hosted a high mileage vehicle contest. Matt’s high school students built a first place, gas saving vehicle. Matt understands the importance of sharing his knowledge of trade skills like; metal working, wood-working, electrical knowledge & engineering with the students who pass through his classes. They are our future community, leaders and workforce.
As a Portage County Board Supervisor, Matt is listening to all residents of Portage County. Matt doesn’t just listen, he hears taxpayer’s voices and refuses to have their voice’s lost to politics and personal agendas. As open letters arrive in the paper for each candidate who will notably carry labels and evidence encouraging a vote, please note Matt’s first hand experience in local politics will help all of Portage County’s residents. Why? He cares.
Matt has an ability to notice the important issues of portage county and listen to voters. For example, knowing that 38.6% of students in the Stevens Point School District are registered to receive free or reduced lunches, Matt knows Portage County taxpayers can’t afford wasteful spending. That fact is why Matt voted “NO” to spending $78 million on remodeling county office space downtown.
Matt is an award winning leader who was raised with solid Portage County family values.
On February 20, 2018 Vote: Matt Jacowski for Portage County Executive.
