Listening Really Does Matter

Read on for my thoughts about the June 9 Madison County Board of Commissioners’ meeting.
Mermaid Candidate for Commissioner!
What a fun weekend! Marshall’s Mermaid Festival was held on Saturday June 6 and the Count on Connie Campaign committee showed up in a big way. Last week, our procurement team ordered and picked up the 6x2 foot Count on Connie banners for the float. Then on Friday late in the afternoon a Rotary friend delivered the aluminum 5x8 foot trailer which was borrowed by another Rotary friend. A Marshall friend let us use his covered space in Downtown Marshall to decorate the float. Between 4 and 6:30pm a flurry of activity took place with 12 people – some members of the campaign committee and some Marshall friends – to create a super fun and absolutely perfect float for the Mermaid Parade.
Emery Boards: A “nod” to my Dad
As a “nod” to my dad – who was a state representative in rural Northern Illinois for 18 years, I looked into giving away emery boards like he did back in the 70s and early 80s.
Meet Connie Molland
If you're reading this and we haven't had a chance to meet yet, I hope this gives you a real sense of who I am; not just as a candidate, but as your neighbor.
My love for Madison County started long before I actually lived here. Back in 1977, my family drove through Asheville on a vacation, and something about these mountains just got into my bones. I never forgot it. In 2000, I bought land out in the Grapevine community, and in 2008, my husband Rick and I made it official and we moved here for good. That wasn't a small decision after 25 years in Indiana, but it turned out to be one of the best ones we ever made.
