— from Rick Hughes —

I am writing to voice my support for both Vince Dauciunas and Mark Madsen as candidates for the OPALCO board.

In the past several years, OPALCO and Rock Island have made much progress delivering broadband to our county, and leading the way on local renewable energy. Both are critical for the future of our county and its economy.

Vince and Mark bring deep technical expertise to the board and strong financial and management skills. I am happy to endorse their re-election to the OPALCO board.
