Together, this ticket and the Aberdeen Republican Party are serious about working hard for the residents of Aberdeen and our community. They are committed to their Republican beliefs, but more importantly,want to be responsive to what the voters of all affiliations want for our community and for Aberdeen to move forward toward a better future. “We are all going to meet the voters, talk about our ideas and experiences, and work hard to gain the community’s support. Then, come January, we will work toward results and make Aberdeen proud of their decision!”said the candidates in a joint conclusion.
