My name is Dennis H. Labadie and I am asking you to elect me Supervisor of San Bernardino County’s 2nd District. The 2nd District includes the communities of Crestline, West Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Lytle Creek, San Antonio Heights, Mt. Baldy Village and Devore.

As the publisher/editor of a newspaper, I have reported on the politics of this county for nearly a decade. I have intimate knowledge of the inner workings of our county government and how it interacts with local communities and the public. I am widely recognized as uniquely qualified to bring strong leadership to San Bernardino County.

I am an entrepreneur who understands the importance of balancing revenue and expense; who acknowledges the significance of being responsive to the needs of the voters; and who embraces the necessity for innovation in order to effectively meet the ongoing certainty of change. Most importantly, underlying these initiatives, I embrace the pressing need for ethical behavior and fiscal responsibility.

I believe in you, the people of this county, and seek your vote in the June 8 primary. Together, through the power of the ballot, we can:
     • Put an end to hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars that are continuously wasted in this county on corruption investigations and redirect those dollars to other pressing needs within the county—the corruption must end!
     • Demand that county officials place the highest priority on job development in a way that supports both labor and business.
     • Seek innovation relative to energy production and consumption in ways that will encourage entrepreneurs, improve the environment, meet the needs of the citizens, and provide increased employment opportunities.
     • Authorize the board to work with community leaders to reconcile immigration conflicts within the county.
     • Call for an expanded focus relative to the redevelopment of blighted areas across the county.
     • Require limits on both campaign financing and spending.
     • Insist that the responsibilities and limits of the office of San Bernardino County Supervisor are clearly defined and subject to monitoring by an ethical oversight committee that is appointed by and works in compliance with the District Attorney’s Integrity Unit.

I need your support on June 8, 2010. It is your voice. It is your choice. My name is Dennis H. Labadie. Elect me for 2nd District Supervisor, and together we will work for a better future.
