RONALD CHAPMAN
As a candidate for Constable of
Precinct 3, Jim Wells County, I
would like to let the people know that
I am personally trying to get around
to meet everyone, talk to them, get
to know them and answer any ques-
tions they may have about me.
I am currently attending the Law
Enforcement Academy at Del Mar,
which makes my schedule very
busy.
Therefore, I invite anyone I may
have missed during my campaign-
ing to call me at 547-5997.
I would really like to give
everyone the opportunity to get to
know me and the platform I stand on
in the Constable’s race in Precinct 3.
I want to be your dedicated, full-
time Constable — to serve and pro-
tect you and your community.
I want to be available anytime and
everytime you call for help.
I really appreciate all the people I
have met and have talked to during
this campaign. I am very thankful
for all their support.
I know there have been residential
break-ins going on, and possessions
have been stolen. But, I didn’t
realize the enormous amount of
break-ins until I began my cam-
paign. Many voters have complain-
ed that they have never been able to
get any response to their calls for
help.
I hope to be able to change all of
this, along with the school bus pro-
blem, in our community.
It has been brought to my atten-
tion that traffic is not stopping for
our school buses while they are
loading and unloading, thus putting
our children’s lives in danger. And,
nothing is being done to try to cor-
rect this problem. I would like the
opportunity to change this problem.
Again, I would like to say how
grateful I am to all those I have met
and talked to about these big pro-
blems in our community.
I really hope to get to meet
everyone before election day.
Therefore, if we haven’t met and
talked yet, call me.
I would also like to publically
challenge my opponent, Mario
Ramirez, to a public debate.
