Russ Anderson of Gulf Shores has qualified to run for the position of Baldwin County Revenue Commissioner as a republican for the June 3rd primary.
Mr. Anderson is a former Naval Officer who has been Captain of two U.S Navy ships. He also was human resources officer at one of the Navy’s biggest training facilities and ran a very large Navy budgeting office in the Pentagon which included frequent testimony before various Armed Services Committees in the Congress. He holds a Masters Degree in Management from Salve Regina University as well as a Masters Degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. Mr. Anderson was a resident of Pensacola Florida throughout his naval career and has resided in Baldwin County for the last 12 years. His wife Lanno is a Mobile native.
"If you elect me Revenue Commissioner I guarantee you we will fight the state Democrats on the beaches, on the eastern shore, on the western border and on the beautiful farms of north Baldwin County. If you elect me Revenue Commissioner I will see to it that no Baldwin County taxpayer pays one cent in taxes over the minimum required by law. If you elect me no state official will intimidate me or pull the wool over my eyes with obscure regulations. If you elect me you will elect a strong fiscal conservative who will be the voice of taxpayers in Baldwin County."
"If elected I promise to send the state carpetbaggers back to Montgomery with empty pockets and a one way bus ticket. Our property values in Baldwin County have plummeted. The first round of appraisals after I take office will reflect that and, your property taxes will be lowered accordingly."
Incumbent Commissioner Phil Nix a republican is expected to seek re-election and Ron Scott who just quit his job with the Baldwin Co. Planning & Zoning Dept. announced he is running, no word on any democrat to seek that post as of yet.
