I want to voice my support for Mike Krummenacker for Hicksville Fire Commissioner. Mike's 35 years of experience, commitment to the Hicksville Fire Department and passion for the fire service is today more pertinent than ever. Mike has over 40 federal and state certifications and this makes Mike the best choice for this important position. Mike is a true professional with a solid financial background in the banking industry, experience that is crucial to the board at this time in particular.

I look forward to working side by side with someone who shares a vision for working together with the community to do what is best for everyone. Mike and I consider it a privilege to hold the position of commissioner and will be conscientious advocates of fiscal responsibility and sharing information with fellow Hicksville residents. We will not betray your trust and confidence in our ability to do what is right for all people of Hicksville - firefighters, residents, business owners, seniors and our young people. My door has been and will remain open to anyone who has concerns and suggestions.

My sincere thanks to all of you who voted for me to be your representative and commissioner. I have been honored to serve you over the past three years and ask that you vote for the most qualified person to join the Hicksville Board of Fire Commissioners on Dec. 12. That person is Mike Krummenacker.

Charles Hearon

Commissioner, Hicksville Fire District
