Letter: ‘Bob (Kaplan) fits the bill’

November 8, 2022

We in Ashland are so lucky that Bob Kaplan is running for City Council, position 4. We need, in today’s rapidly changing world, a “breath of fresh air,” somebody who has spent his professional life working to help communities grow and thrive.

Somebody who is experienced in directing public finance to meet local needs. Somebody who is a curious and energetic results-oriented unifier. We need a leader who ups the game whenever he’s in the room. Bob fits the bill! I think that is rather amazing.

Bob is a natural leader. He has a fun website, bobforashland.com, and his endorsements are particularly interesting.

I hope you join me in voting for Bob Kaplan.
