Rep. Dixon is a true man of integrity

As I scrolled through social media and the unavoidable, and prolific, political posts, one in particular stood out: Rep. Sage Dixon is helping seniors. And according to the poster, out of his own pocket.

You see, a local family, all of whom are senior citizens, were feeling under-the-weather but refusing to go for COVID testing; they’re unable to pay the fees AND keep food on the table.

That’s where Rep. Dixon stepped in: he immediately began looking into state funds earmarked for COVID to see if he could obtain for them the testing-fee funding they need. But there’s more: Rep. Dixon has promised to pay the fees himself if state funds are unavailable.

And I hear it’s not the first time Rep. Dixon has stepped in to assist our most-vulnerable amid the virus outbreak.

You won’t hear about these stories from Rep. Dixon, though, because that’s the kind of person he is: he goes about his work on behalf of his constituents without patting himself on the back. Why? Because he’s a man of integrity who walks his talk, and that’s the definition of “honorable.”

As an out-of-district resident, I can’t vote for Rep. Dixon. But if I could, I would. For never in my life have I known an elected official as giving of his time and who keeps the promises he’s made.

For all these reasons and more, I ask that you vote to re-elect Sage Dixon on Nov. 3.
