The Northwest Johnson County Republicans have endorsed Jason Osterhaus for County Commission in the 4th District. The endorsement was made on Tuesday, June 15 via a vote of the membership of the organization.
Regarding the endorsement, the organization's Chairman, Mike Pirner, said the following:
"Jason Osterhaus is a 2010 conservative -- a candidate not from the establishment, but from the people. The County Commission has slowly drifted to the left on issues of fiscal responsiblity and responsible government, and Jason is willing to step up and take on those who are establishment figures and would do nothing to change the culture of county government. In addition, Jason is campaigning hard, covering the district on foot, working every day to earn the trust of the elecorate. He is our choice for County Commissioner."
Unlike other races in Johnson County, the County Commission races are elected on a nonpartisan basis. On August 3, the top two candidates will advance to face off in the general election.
