CARTHAGE, Mo. — Mikey Robertson, Jr., a Jasper County Deputy Sheriff, announced Monday, Dec. 27 that he is running for Jasper County Presiding Commissioner in 2022.
Below is a transcript of his comments as he kicked off his campaign this morning at the Jasper County Courthouse in Carthage:
“Good Morning, my name is Michael Robertson Jr., but most people know me as Mikey.
I’d like to thank you all for coming today so that I can publicly declare that I LOVE JASPER COUNTY.
My pride in this community is why I’m proud to announce I’m running for Jasper County Presiding Commissioner. I’ve been honored to serve the citizens of Jasper County for the past 14 years as Deputy Sheriff, and I feel it’s time for me to serve our great county in another way. I love Jasper County as I’m a 4th generation Jasper County Resident. As the Presiding Commissioner I would love to maintain and grow the hometown feeling throughout the county that makes this a wonderful and safe place to live, work and raise a family. I look forward to working hand in hand with Sheriff Kaiser in hopes of providing our Law Enforcement with competitive wages and better equipment to keep not only our citizens but our Deputies safe. I would love to make small businesses more visible to the locals as well as travelers and work to restore our portion of the historic Route 66. Please check out my website and facebook page for more information about myself and my campaign for Jasper County Presiding Commissioner.”
