For Central Committee (Licking Township C)
Join Mark Linton in shaping a proactive and connected future for Licking Township. Step forward with us for tangible change in our community’s journey
Vision, Issues, & Values
Let’s be honest: I’m not a politician, nor do I aspire to be one. So, you might wonder, why am I running for the Central Committee? Well, as your neighbor, I believe in open and honest communication. I’ve often found myself voicing concerns about our community’s challenges, yet I realized that just talking about them isn’t enough. It’s time for action, time to be part of the solution.
Though the Central Committee is a relatively modest position, it represents a significant step forward from simply observing from the sidelines. I see it as my opportunity to channel my thoughts and words into meaningful actions. It’s about taking responsibility and actively contributing to the change I wish to see in our community.
I come to this role with a few practical ideas aimed at making tangible improvements in our community. These ideas are born from everyday conversations and shared experiences with many of you. This role, small as it may be, is a chance for me to turn our collective aspirations into actionable plans.
Join me in this journey of taking small steps towards big changes. Together, let’s shape a community that we’re proud to call home.
Equal Voice. I am committed to ensuring that every precinct, township, and village in our community has a seat at the table, addressing logistical challenges to guarantee that all voices are heard and valued.
Accountability. I am dedicated to enforcing accountability, ensuring our elected leaders uphold their promises and serve with integrity.
Focus and Priorities. I aim to center our party on core conservative values like freedom and justice, focusing on principles rather than simply being the ‘red’ party.
