Meet John Watson- Candidate(R) for LaPorte County Council District 1

Join us live on Thursday the 15th of October to meet John Watson, candidate(R) for LaPorte County Council District 1. District 1 goes from the southern edge of LaPorte County all the way into La Porte itself, encompassing the entirety of the following townships: Dewey, Prairie, Cass, Clinton, Noble, and Hanna Most of Scipio and portions of New Durham and Center Weird shape and huge district! We're looking forward to talking to John and getting to know him. We ask all of our candidates to send us a bio, and here's what we were sent: "I have been married for 35 years to my wife Lisa, we have three children and we have five grandchildren. We have lived in LaPorte County for over 25 years, all three of our children graduated from South Central School. I have two grandkids that are currently going to South Central School. I have been an operating engineer and local 150 for 27 years, it has been a very rewarding career for me. Both of my sons and my son-in-law are operating engineers. When I have time in the summer I like to ride my motorcycle with my wife. I also enjoy my antique tractors and hayrides with the family. This is my first time running for a political office. I saw an opportunity to help my community with an empty County Council seat in my district. After discussion with my family we made the decision to run for County Council. There are multiple reasons that I decided to run for Council, the first and foremost is I want to give back to the community in which we live. Another reason is I want to bring Trust and accountability to the County Government. The residents of LaPorte County should trust their elected officials, I want to be that guy. I would like to see smart, common sense, LaPorte County First progress. In my opinion any decision made should be what is best for LaPorte County residents! I will not be the guy with all the answers, I will be the guy who listens to the residents of LaPorte County. I would appreciate your support on or before November 3rd."
