Peteet right choice for treasurer

I write this because I am enthused about Allison Sippel Peteet becoming treasurer for Georgetown County.

I cannot think of a finer person to I would endorse.

I met Allison about 38 years ago when we were in high school. I really got to know her later when I worked with her. I knew immediately that she had the talent and interpersonal skills for working with people and getting the job done. As we worked together for many years, I saw I was not wrong.

What I admire most about Allison is her determination to grow in order to be a great asset for Georgetown County. Her nine years experience as chief clerk in the auditor’s office and working closely with the treasurer’s office has given her the kind of working knowledge our next treasurer needs.

She has proven herself time and again to be an invaluable asset to Georgetown County. I wholeheartedly endorse Allison Sippel Peteet and ask the citizens of Georgetown County to get on board with me.

Vote Peteet on Nov. 8.

Melissa Herring Small, Georgetown
