Today, I post a candidate interview with Carl Sobeck, Democratic nominee for Dresden Town Board. I have sent candidate questionnaires to all those running in this year’s town elections and will post their responses as received. Below are my questions and Mr. Sobeck’s responses.
Could you please tell us about yourself and why you are running for the town board?
I have lived in Huletts Landing for the past seven years and have been active in different organizations. I belong to the Huletts Landing Volunteer Fire Company and I serve as Vice-President. I am a forty year plus member of the Sheriff’s Association, and also volunteer at Skene Manor. I believe I would be a good council member.
Could you tell us about some of your “life experiences” that have formed your outlook on the world?
I have an A.A. Degree in Business Management and have taken coursework at three different colleges. I also was the President of a Lake Association for over twenty years. When I took over that position, the Association was broke. I repaired the Lake’s Dam, working with State officials.
Are you involved in any church, civic or other community organization that works to make Dresden a better place?
I belong to the Huletts Volunteer Fire Company. I have been a member of the Sheriff’s Association for over forty years and volunteer at Skene Manor.
What are some of the things you like to do as hobbies in your spare time?
In my spare time, I especially enjoy outdoor activities. I like to hike, play golf and work on my garden.
As a prospective Town official, what do you consider your greatest strengths?
I feel my greatest strengths are my communication skills, conscientious attitude and honesty. I believe I could do a good job as a town council member and would appreciate your vote.
Sincerely Yours,
Carl E. Sobeck
