Hello, I'm Kent Fletcher, and I am honored to announce my candidacy for Southern Commissioner.
I reside on a cattle farm in Southwest Bates County. I am a proud graduate of Rich Hill High School; I am also a dedicated coach for Junior High and High School Football. As the owner of Fletcher Farms Rock and Dirt, I understand the importance of hard work, economic growth, and supporting local businesses.
My background includes hands-on experience working with multiple townships and asphalt companies, giving me a strong grasp of what it takes to maintain and improve our roads effectively. I am well-versed in operating road graders and heavy equipment, which equips me to address our county’s infrastructure needs with competence and efficiency. Additionally, I served as Fire Chief for the Foster Volunteer Fire Department for several years and have volunteered countless hours in youth sports and community programs.
I am deeply committed to family values and believe that a strong community is built on a foundation of solid family principles. My vision as Southern Commissioner is to implement policies that support our infrastructures, county finances, families and foster a thriving, united community.
Goals and Commitment as Southern Commissioner:
Stop the Abolishment of Townships and Strengthen Local Governance: I will stand firmly against efforts to abolish townships, advocating for the preservation and enhancement of our local governance structures while keeping taxes manageable for Bates County residents.
Improve Township Efficiency and Enhance Operations: My focus will be on enhancing township operations and improving efficiency to ensure that our townships are well-managed and effectively meet the needs of our community.
Enhance Road Maintenance and Safety: Drawing on my experience with road graders and heavy equipment, I am committed to working with our township boards to maintain and improve our roads, ensuring they are safe, durable, and meet the needs of our residents.
Support Local Businesses and Foster Economic Growth: I aim to support local businesses and promote economic growth, creating opportunities for new ventures and strengthening our local economy.
My campaign is driven by a straightforward goal: to improve our city streets and county roads, making them safer and more accessible for all and to ensure county funds are well diversified. With your support, I am ready to bring my experience, dedication, and vision to the role of Southern Commissioner.
I am proud to be endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 50, a testament to my commitment to supporting our law enforcement professionals and ensuring our communities are safe.
