Dayton Daily News Editorial Board

I have known Joe Ellis for a number of years and am confident he is exactly what Montgomery County needs in a County Commissioner.

His experience as a successful business owner in the area will lend Montgomery County familiarity with the actions required to create and maintain jobs in the area.  As a Butler Township Trustee for the past six years, Joe Ellis has been instrumental in helping transform a growing community into a thriving economic center for businesses and development.

Joe Ellis is a dynamic leader, visionary, and a man of action.  He understands and appreciates the problems residents have in Montgomery County, and will work hard in creating solutions for those problems.  Joe Ellis will be effective in his goals to revitalize Montgomery County, and create more jobs. 

It is for these reasons that I am very glad to give Joe Ellis my endorsement for Montgomery County Commissioner.
