PRESTON RESPONDS TO CARTER ‘ATTACK’ WITH ‘POSITIVE’ MESSAGE

In response to my opponent’s recent attack ad, which falsely accuses me of many things, I will say this, it was as predictable as the sun coming up in the morning. My Dad always told me, “if you argue with a fool, you become one.” I will not play into my opponent’s negativity. I am going to stay positive! In talking to the people of Lawrence County, I consistently hear about division and retaliation, and the people are tired of it. I want to show the PEOPLE what can be done when we all WORK TOGETHER!  I want to work for you and with you! The Lawrence County Judge Executive’s office is your office, and I know what we can do TOGETHER! This election is about WE not ME.
