Vuillemont-Smith Withdraws from Tulsa Commissioner Race
Grassroots Candidate to Withdraw from County Commission Race
TULSA, OKLAHOMA – APRIL 12, 2013 – Ronda Vuillemont-Smith, candidate for Tulsa County Commission, District 3, is withdrawing from the race set for June 11, 2013. “I entered the county commissioners race to ensure that the tax payers of Tulsa County would have a common sense, conservative voice at the table when dealing with their hard earned money, “ states Vuillemont-Smith, “I am announcing my withdrawal from this race today as I feel that the people can have that voice with John Wright. He is a capable candidate with a willingness to get things done in Tulsa County.”
“Part of my vision for Tulsa County is to see us move from paying bonding fees and interest and follow Oklahoma City’s plan of pay-as-you-go, where we could make money on our deposits as opposed to spending tax payer’s money with nothing to show for it. Cutting up the county credit cards is necessary if we want to move Tulsa County forward.”
Vuillemont-Smith made her decision to withdraw following John Wright’s entry to the race, believing that they would both pull from the same conservative voters and in a ‘winner take all’ race that the votes need to remain united. “This race is about changing the face of Tulsa County government, not about an individual, and certainly not about me,” Vuillemont-Smith continues.
Vuillemont-Smith’s voice will continue to be heard through citizen activism in groups like Citizens for a Better Vision and Tulsa 9.12 Project. With the ‘Fix our Streets’ package approaching, she will continue her role as a voice for limited government and lower taxes. Vuillemont-Smith is a vocal conservative, actively working for lower taxes and smaller government; she is an ordinary citizen working to make our community a better place to work and live.
“I am truly honored and humbled by all the support I have received, it only proves that people are eager for common sense solutions to issues dealing with your hard earned money,” concludes VuillemontSmith.
“There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit.” ~Ronald Reagan
