My name is Pete Vezey and I am running for Goshen Trustee as a “write-in candidate” this coming November 5th. The recent missing money situation brought to light in the Community Journal article dated August 18 was the impetus, well after the ballot petition filing deadline of 07 August, but not too late to submit my name as a write-in candidate. About myself; I am a retired Navy Chief, having led and served in the US Navy from 1985 – 2005 and have worked as a Quality Engineer in the aerospace industry for several years since. My wife Crystal and I have three children and seven grandchildren between us. I believe in the Good Lord and family, and I believe in giving to charities if one is able. My ultimate goal as Trustee is to see the Goshen community thrive in all aspects; not to grow into a big city, but to thrive. There are a few things I’ve observed over the years that need addressed and could be better addressed from the “inside,” as in the Township budget and the state of our Police / Fire / EMS and Zoning. I also wouldn’t mind eventually having a self-sustaining Community Center for all age groups with various activities, offering everyone opportunities for exercising body and mind. I am not a politician, a no BS kind of guy running a “no frills campaign.” I am open to all suggestions from our community to help our Township thrive. As Trustee, one of the most critical parts of the job is to listen to Goshen residents and do their bidding as best as possible, and that is precisely what I plan to do for our community. My motto; “it’s amazing what can get accomplished if you don’t care who gets the credit.” Yours in service, Pete Vezey
