Describe why you are the best qualified candidate for the seat you are seeking.

I am a fourth generation native of Oconee County and have lived my whole life here, except the time I spent serving my country during the Vietnam war. My children and grandchildren reside here also. I want to be an integral part of helping them, as well as other Oconee County citizens, to enjoy the life and pleasures that I have enjoyed living in this great county. I graduated from Seneca High School and was a member of the varsity football team. Upon returning home from the Army, I graduated from Anderson College and Tri County Tech and attended several engineering classes at Clemson Unversity. I own a farm in Friendship Community and also operate a small business there. The operation of the business requires managing time, finances, resources, organization and communications which are similar to the duties of a council member. I have designed roads and sewer lines. With the plans to extend the sewer line to Fairplay and the I-85 exits, this experience will be highly valuable to the people of the county and Distict 5. I am seeking re-election to the county council to continue to make improvements in the quality of life for the residents of Oconee County.

What is the most important challenge facing the Oconee County Council and how will you solve it?

The most important challenge facing the council is managing the budget rise from year to year and policing unnecessary spending.

Since District 5 has a large farming community, I want to make sure their lives and livelihood are not negatively impacted by any zoning actions the county might take. I want to protect individual property rights for everyone.

I-85 from Atlanta to Charlotte is the fifth largest market in the nation for potential business development. Economists refer to this highway corridor as Charlanta. We need to continue the Southern Sewer line from the Golden Corner Industrial Park to all of the exits at I-85. This is being done in phases. This potential growth would bring more higher paying jobs and create a larger tax base.

I am opposed any other land purchases by Oconee County unless absolutely necessary. For example, we may need to purchase right of way and land for rural fire departments.

I am the best candidate to represent District 5 because of my integrity, professional ethics and honesty. As a life long resident of this county, I am vested here. I have run a continuous, successful business in this county for 46 years. I have surveyed a large portion of District 5 and met many of the people. I feel that I know you and your common sense values. I seeking re-election to County Council to continue to make a profound difference. A vote for James Glenn Hart is a vote for trustworthy leadership. Thank you for your support.
