RICHARD kEASEY
This Choice is easy - vote for keasey
Welcome
My name is Richard "Rick" Keasey. Five years ago, when I retired from the military as a Colonel, I thought for sure I was done with public service. If you told me 6 months ago that I would be running for Madison County Board District 18, I would have said, “You’re crazy,” but things have changed in a very short time. My motivation to run is based in my belief that the time for complaining is over. It’s just time to roll up my sleeves and do my civic duty, again... I have no hidden agenda, only a strong belief that Madison County is a great place to raise a family, and I would like to keep it that way. I know I have strong opinions, and I genuinely believe that if you don’t like what I have to say, that’s OK. You don’t have to vote for me. You won’t hurt my feelings. If you like the status quo, vote for my 85 year-old, 20 year incumbent opponent, but if you would like to see the ship righted and put back on course, I’m your candidate.
Yard Signs are Here!
Edwardsville area supporters:
I have had a couple of people ask me about yard signs. They have arrived! Although I do greatly appreciate everyone's enthusiasm, for now, I would like to distribute the signs within District 18 and the surrounding area as depicted on the (entire) map. My opponent has started an all out yard sign campaign, and I would like to retaliate in kind.
As the process evolves, I may be able to cast a wider net. To my outside Edwardsville fans, thank you for your understanding and continuing support.
If you are interested, please send me an email to: rickformadison18@gmail.com
Thanks again everyone for your support.
