In today's political arena, we hear about "New Deals," "Big Deals," "Square Deals," "Fair Deals," etc. This election day, consider, honesty, hard work and integrity. These are qualities Donna Maskus embodies and would bring to the office of Ellis County clerk.

I've known Donna for more than 30 years and have found Donna defines the traits of integrity, hard work and honesty. Donna also has a willingness to listen to others and produce positive results. She's personally invested in our community and dedicated to improving it through her involvement in many civic organizations. Donna has worked with the Ellis County Extension board, 4-H, United Way of Ellis County, Community Emergency Response Team and many more.

Most importantly, Donna knows the demands and expectations that come with the office of county clerk.

This election day, please vote for honesty and integrity. Please vote for Donna Maskus for our next Ellis County clerk.
