Dear Editor,

As the chairman of the House Republican Campaign Committee, I got to know your state Rep. Daniel Elliott very quickly. Thank you for sending another principled leader to Frankfort! State Auditor and former state Rep. Mike Harmon is one of the best men that I’ve had the privilege of knowing since my time in public service.

Frankfort is a better place because you saw it fit to send another conservative leader, Daniel Elliott, to the legislature. He is determined to fight for your district and give you the representation you deserve. His office is right next to mine and what I have seen out of Daniel that stands out the most is the effort he puts into his job as your representative. Whether it was crucial school funding in the budget or fighting back against bad economic policy during the session, he was a voice that was loud and consistent.

Daniel was drinking from a fire hose, as they say, because he got elected quickly in the special election and went straight into a budget session. From the moment Daniel got there, he was asking the right questions, talking to the right people and making sure that he was in touch with his constituents.

I’m proud of Rep. Daniel Elliott and I’m proud to call him a friend. Please reelect Daniel with a resounding victory so can he continue to fight for you in Frankfort and help put Kentucky back on a path to prosperity.

Jonathan Shell

State Representative
