Why are you running for the Polk County Board of Commissioners?
MICHAEL GAGE:

My respect for the people of our county has given me the inspiration to step up and put things back into perspective for this community. The experience that I’ve gained as an elected official and a local volunteer has afforded me a clear understanding of the county’s past and where it stands today. I believe the community’s faith in God and each other will help us realize that we must all work together for the future of our county.
