By Willie Turral
We have an important primary election in Beaufort County this month. My name is Willie Turral and for those who don’t yet know me I would like to take this opportunity to acquaint you with my motivation for running for the office of Beaufort County Auditor.
Over the past two years, I have examined my life and, most importantly, my purpose. I am proud to share with you that I have dedicated myself to conservative Christian values – the theme of my campaign and my life is Faith, Family, and Freedom.
We are witnessing a sea change in the course of human events in the United States today. Citizens no longer trust that their government represents their best interests. Restoring trust in local government has become a personal mission for me. That is why I am running to become your next County Auditor.
Over the past two years, I have spent countless hours supporting the youth of our county. I am the former director of operations and education for AMI Kids, a non-profit organization dedicated to rehabilitating troubled youths. I have been serving as the chairman of the Young Republicans organization, because I believe that my conservative values are respected by the Republican Party. I am a former teacher at St. Helena Elementary School where I was a role model to young people. Currently I am finishing my studies at the Charleston School of Law.
I asked myself, “How else can I best serve the Beaufort community?” The answer is by running for the public office of County Auditor. Those who know me will tell you I am a God-fearing man who cherishes his family and believes that government should be for the people of Beaufort County. Have I made some mistakes in the past? Surely, we all have made some choices that we later realized were ill-advised.
However, I ask that you talk to people who have worked beside me over the past two years and you will know the real Willie Turral, the man who respects the voters and will be responsible for restoring integrity to the Beaufort County Auditor’s office.
My life’s focus has been to improve and enrich the lives of others. The current situation in the Auditor’s Office is unacceptable for the people of Beaufort County and must change. With your vote and support, I will restore trust and decency to our Auditor’s Office. My promise to you: You will never question the integrity of your Auditor again. I believe that accessibility and accuracy are of critical importance in the Auditor’s office. I will work diligently to ensure that you are not overpaying your personal property taxes.
I respectfully ask that you request the Republican primary ballot so you can vote for me as your nominee to the office of Beaufort County Auditor. It is important to vote so that your voice can be heard. You can vote at the Board of Elections office through Friday, June 10 or on Primary Day, Tuesday, June 14th. I thank you in advance for your support.
Willie Turral, born and raised in Beaufort, is a Republican candidate for Beaufort County Auditor.
