A brighter future for Catoosa County
"All I ask is a square deal for every man. Give him a fair chance. Do not let him wrong anyone, and do not let him be wronged." - Theodore Roosevelt
I'm Richard Tharpe, a lifelong Conservative Republican running for commissioner in District 3 and Catoosa County. As a candidate, I believe in the power of humility, hard work, and honest leadership to make a positive difference in our community.
Throughout my years running successful businesses, I've learned the importance of teamwork, budgeting, and achieving goals. These experiences have prepared me to serve as your commissioner, where cooperation and respect are essential for effective governance.
My campaign is rooted in the conservative principles I've always cherished: balanced budgets, lower taxes, property rights, personal freedom, and the right to life. These values guide my vision for effective governance and my commitment to serving all citizens of our district and county.
I'm not here to make empty promises or engage in negative campaigning. Instead, I aim to earn your trust through my actions, values, and virtues. I believe that by focusing on what unites us as a community, we can achieve great things together.
In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, "Do something now. If not you, who? If not here, where? If not now, when?" I have decided that my time to serve is now, and I humbly ask for your support.
As Roosevelt also said, "All I ask is a square deal for every man. Give him a fair chance. Do not let him wrong anyone, and do not let him be wronged." This sentiment is at the heart of my campaign: ensuring that every citizen has the opportunity to succeed and pursue happiness for themselves and their family.
