Elliott Joins the Ballot for Scott County Auditor

Candidate hosts first brown bag lunch at Lincoln Park this Friday.

Davenport, IA - On Tuesday August 26, 2008, Michael D. Elliott filed the necessary affidavit to run for Scott County Auditor. Elliott submitted over 490 signatures, exceeding the minimum 250 required for placement on the ballot by petition for the contested office of auditor.
Elliott is a small business owner in west Davenport. His candidacy offers voters an alternative to his two opponents, Steve Ahrens and Roxanna Morritz, both of whom are highly partisan and unqualified for the position of auditor.
Elliott is committed to the rule of law for the citizens of Scott County. He has studied the federal, and state constitutions as well as the relevant codes for Scott County voting rights. Elliott is committed to ensuring that the auditor’s fair, transparent and inclusive thirty-year record is maintained.
Elliott’s supporters claim that neither of his two-party opponents promise such continuity, and that Elliott is the only candidate that can be trusted to place the interest of Scott County voters first, create more public awareness of voting rights issues, while providing the effective non partisan stewardship the office requires.

Elliott will be hosting a brown bag lunch this Friday to talk about voting in Scott County and recruiting volunteers to help with an educational film series and targeted door-to-door canvassing. Interested citizens are encouraged to bring their lunch and enjoy the sweeping river views from the park and learn more about Michael D. Elliott.
Mr. Elliott will be available for discussion and interviews at Lincoln Park at the foot of the Arsenal Bridge in downtown Davenport, 2nd Street from Noon to 1:30 p.m. this Friday, August 29, 2008.
