Press Play for Harold's Introduction

MAST IS COMMITTED TO:

JOBS
Harold will create a new climate on the county commission to foster economic development and encourage private sector job creation - rather than regulate it.

EFFICIENCY
Harold's past experience in city and county elected office, as well as 38 years of non-profit executive leadership, will prove valuable as the county strives to find efficient ways to provide public service.  Harold has proven fiscal management skills for this task.

COLLABORATION
Harold's past trustworthiness and integrity among elected officials will enable him to garner new working relationships among local governments, local for profit, and local non-profit organizations that will expand our region's use of existing resources.

"Hi, my name is Harold Mast and I'm running for County Commissioner because I believe taxpayers deserve strong leadership from our elected officials.  I have the skills and experience necessary to ensure tax dollars are not wasted, and I'm committed to collaboration and job creation.

I am a proud husband and father of a diverse family.  My wife Angie and I have lived in Kentwood for 39 years.  I would be honored to serve as your next County Commissioner."

Pension Donations
In my campaign for election as county commissioner for District 12, I propose to help the county accomplish three goals: (1) create an environment for jobs, (2) provide services more efficiently, and (3) develop new collaborative efforts. As I talk with people during my campaign in the District 12 community, I am struck by the need for immediate attention to accomplish these goals. I realize as a current county commission retiree with a $400/mo county pension, I can do something now to bring attention to these needs. If I am elected I do not want to have two county paychecks. Accordingly, I have decided to begin the practice of donating my county pension to organizations that illustrate my election goals.

I recently made donations of $200 each to the Wyoming and Kentwood Economic Development Corporations to enhance their job creation capabilities. I plan to make continued $400 cash contributions each month for the remainder of this year. I will announce the recipients on my blog and web narratives. If elected, I will make this an automatic bank withdrawal to selected needy organizations for the next two years.
