Chris Lukasevich running for Commissioner as Independent

“I am currently registered as an Independent.

“Perhaps it may come as a surprise, but I did not file nomination petitions for the May 2023 Municipal Primary as required for registered Democrats or Republicans seeking their respective party’s nomination for the office of County Commissioner.

“However, in concert with an unaltered and overarching strategy decided on nearly three years ago, shortly after taking office on 6 January 2020. This past Tuesday 7 March, I carried out the necessary voter registration and party affiliation actions to retain maximum flexibility and independence of action to achieve any and all of my planned political aspirations and desires relevant to county level office in 2024.

“I anticipate the possibility of at least one additional notable action in the near future related to this topic; However, it will not alter my strategy and plan related to any political ambitions I may or MAY NOT have, AT the county level. If not sooner, my intent will become clearly evident by 1 AUG 2023.

“Make no mistake, my conservative values and unequaled commitment to transparency in government, and doing what is in the very best interest of you, the county taxpayers, remains the cornerstone of my beliefs, my values and MOST importantly, my actions!

“Regardless, if it is destined to be two hundred ninety-nine [299] days, or four (4) years and two hundred and ninety-nine [299] days more, sleep well knowing, I’ll be fighting for you and while ‘You may not like where I stand, you will always know where I stand’ and from my core I say, and from my actions I exemplify my mantra ‘If it matters to you, it matters to me!’”
