Candidate profiles – The candidates tell you who they are and why they are seeking office
By John T. Ryan
Reporting town government news is a continuing focus of the Peru Gazette. We believe that the foundation of our democracy rests on the reporting of government actions by a free press.
Accordingly, we invited all the candidates for Peru Town offices to provide a brief biography and an explanation why they are seeking office. We hope their responses assist our readers in deciding how they will cast their ballots.
The Gazette thanks all the candidates for accepting our invitation. Their responses will remain online until Election Day.

As citizens of Peru, we are very fortunate to have a wonderfully dedicated group of people seeking election. They are Lana Knight for Clerk, Jim Reed for Highway, Jim Kirby for Justice, Kregg Bruno, Tony Andrews, and James Douglass for Council, as well as Bob Cronin Write-in for Supervisor. These are people who realize fully that our town is highly politicized and publicized; yet, they have a vision for Peru that creates a town of fairness and harmony.
The people of Peru need these candidates to be our representatives of honesty and integrity in government. All our taxpayers and citizens are entitled to fair representation, regardless of political persuasion. Peru deserves Lana Knight, Jim Reed, Jim Kirby, Kregg Bruno, Tony Andrews, Jim Douglass, and Bob Cronin Write-in for Supervisor. I can assure you that they will bring fresh, fair new outlooks to our town. They will provide democracy in our local government, and they will generate a new satisfaction in Peru’s residents. These candidates are excellent human beings, and they are truly superb choices for the citizens of Peru!
Sincerely,
