Empowering Our Community Together

Vote for Change: A New Path for Our County

Meet David Richardson, a dedicated leader focused on improving our county's future through transparency, stability, and integrity.

PERSONAL NOTE FROM DAVID

“In light of recent events in Long County, I would like the community to know I am ready and willing to step into the role as the District 1 County Commissioner.  Like you, I too did not anticipate the county to be in a financial bind that would have such a great impact on citizens and employees.  My commitment to you is to be more transparent, stabilize our county, and uphold integrity especially in areas where unfair hiring practices of close relatives and friends has been taking place. I know that every decision I make will affect generations to come in my family and others.  Also, I understand that people are looking to me to be honest and act in the county’s best interest.  If elected, I promise to uphold these principles daily. I will be accessible, approachable, and accountable.”
