Letter to the Editor: Candidate withdraws from board election

Dear Editor:
It is with regret that I withdraw my name from the ballot of the RE-1 School Board election coming in November. I came to the realization that I was not going to be able to commit 100 percent to the responsibilities and obligations which the Meeker school board deserves. I would like to thank everyone who has supported my decision to run for the school board but I am the type of person, who if unable to give my all to a responsibility, would rather bow out than do a substandard job. This decision didn’t come easily, but with prior obligations I have made to other boards and to community projects and also to my family, I must withdraw from the race. I believe the other candidates are qualified and will give the Meeker school district the 100% which it deserves. Although I have withdrawn, the ballots coming out in November will not be able to be changed. Know that if you still vote for me, the vote will not count.
Thanks again for your support,
Todd Morris
Meeker
