Good Evening Robert A.
I enjoy reading your articles and see the truth in what you publish. Thanks for sharing.
Ironically, as I was catching up on reading your articles…I get this text message.
Text Message-Today (February 22, 2024) 6;37 PM
Early Voting is underway in Cleveland County, and Kevin Gordon is a clear conservative choice. Kevin Gordon has championed economic development and fiscal conservatism. Kevin is dedicated to rooting out wasteful spending and ensuring Cleveland County spends taxpayer dollars responsibly. This election vote for Kevin Gordon as County Commissioner.
Paid for by The Committee to Elect Kevin Gordon
What a huge joke this campaign ad is! CC Voters & Tax Payers need to wake up!!
I cannot wait until March 5th to vote for YOU, and others who will make sure other tax payers & my money is spent wisely.
Have a great evening,
An Upper Cleveland Citizen
Editor’s Note: This message above is provided to you exactly as it was received, except all identifying information has been removed to protect the sender from retaliation.
The fact of the matter is Kevin Gordon has a record in office and Kevin Gordon is exactly the opposite of what his campaign materials are saying.
For instance:
- Under Kevin Gordon, Cleveland County has received $105 Million for the Justice Center Project. Spent most to all of it and has nothing to show for it except for big “carp pond” size holes in the ground with NO actual construction of the buildings even started.
- Under Kevin Gordon, The County EMS services did a hostile takeover of all of the Cleveland County Rescue Squads under the pretense that $3 Million could be saved. In fact, the takeover cost the County $9 million the first year. A $12 Million dollar swing toward bankruptcy for Cleveland County completely attributable to poor management skills and bad planning by Kevin Gordon himself.
- The most recent $6 Million Shell Building gamble “engineered” by Kevin Gordon’s Economic Development Partnership has failed. The Building has not sold and Cleveland County is now $6 million deeper in debt. And making payments that Cleveland County is hard pressed to pay without a big tax increase. All attributed to Kevin Gordon’s poor financial judgement and an economic Development Partnership that has disintegrated before everybody’s eyes due to Kevin Gordon’s lack of fiscal Management and running off the EDP Director due to some sort of unknown disagreement that has been covered up.
- Kevin Gordon has not rooted out “One Penny” in wasteful spending in his term as Cleveland County Commissioner. In fact, Kevin Gordon is on this Third County Manager and there are “rumors” that Kevin Gordon may be running off more seasoned staff people in short order.
- Kevin Gordon is well known for his fits of rage and then pressures staff to have to cover up for him.
No folks, Kevin Gordon is NOT the Clear Conservative Choice in the 2024 Commissioner Elections. Robert A. Williams is. You don’t see Robert A spending tons of money on billboard and huge campaign signs, TV Ads and expensive mailers. Robert A is the clear conservative choice and Robert A owes no huge campaign debts to big dollar “donors/investors” that will require repayment when and if Kevin Gordon is elected. The only debt Robert A will owe is to provide citizens with fair and honest representation. Something that Cleveland County has NOT seen for a very long time.
Folks, go to the Shelby Shopper and the Kings Mountain Herald to see Robert A’s simple but telling Campaign ad that lists Robert A’s Top Ten Goals. There are no lies amongst them. This ad put out by Kevin Gordon’s Campaign Committee as shown above is nothing but bald-faced lies and deceptions.
For your convenience, a copy of Robert A’s ad is provided below. Do your own comparison on who deserves your vote as a Cleveland County Commissioner.
