To the Editor:

During 40 years of teaching, I observed the importance of having mental health services available to families in Grant County.

I am voting for Mark Webb for county judge because during his previous term as county judge, he helped bring Community Counseling Solutions to Grant County. CCS provides mental health services, drug and alcohol treatment, gambling recovery services, and support for people with developmental disabilities.

Before CCS, the county court was responsible for hiring mental health directors and there was a high rate of turnover. Because Mark Webb worked to explore other options, Grant County has a permanent CCS treatment center and services for the citizens of Grant County.

Leadership matters! Please join me in voting for Mark Webb for judge.
