Just who is Ed Elswick?

In the September/October 2009 edition of The Roanoker, we take a look at this surprise win of this political newcomer over three-time incumbent Roanoke County Supervisor Joe McNamara.

“It is time that people stood up and said let’s stop this and put common sense into how we should run our government … Rural areas like Catawba and Bent Mountain are still ignored by the county administration. And that’s okay – we want to be left alone. But there are things that happen that show us that we aren’t left alone.”

“They threaten up here to close our schools. At one point they took away our two permanent fire fighters. We want more of a say as to what the county does. The rural areas are so important to the citizens. We get tons of visitors coming to us. We felt like we needed a voice to what the county affairs are all about.”
