Independent Jasper County Board of Supervisor Candidate Randy Ray says he wants to lower taxes and  improve the County’s rural roads. Ray is a businessman and farmer whose goal is to bring about change, particularly in those two areas.

“Our county roads have gone to a disaster area the last eight-to-nine years. We have roads that someone is going to get hurt on. It’s pathetic how they have let them go. We are spending way too much county money in the wrong places.”

Ray says he’s not a politician, but is a “level-headed” person who believes in hard work. He is running for the seat Denny Stevenson was appointed to after the December 2022 death of longtime County Supervisor Denny Carpenter.
