Frederick C. Sheeler, Berks County Recorder of Deeds & Candidate for Pennsylvania's 5th Legislative District
Top 5 Reasons to Vote for Frederick C. Sheeler for 5th State House District:
1. Fred Sheeler is a likeable guy. Just listen to the glowing endorsement from State Senator Judy Schwank:
2. Even though he is a really busy guy, he is known to take the time to personally respond to public inquiries. [2 years ago, I e-mailed him with questions about filing notary name change and address change forms when I got married and subsequently moved from Berks to Chester County. He responded quickly and answered my question thoroughly.]
3. He is endorsed by Equality Pennsylvania. As a dedicated straight ally, I highly value Equality PA's election endorsements because if a person is lucky enough to get endorsed by the top LGBT rights organization in the Commonwealth, it's a good indicator that the candidate is an advocate of equal rights and a friend to the LGBT community.
4. To quote his bio on the Berks Recorder of Deeds website, "During his first term in office Fred completely digitized all documents recorded in the office since the County's founding in 1752." The online records system is easy to use, well organized and free! This accomplishment is significant because it shows that he is not afraid to use technology to streamline the accessibility of government information.
5. Fred's occupational and educational experience make him uniquely qualified to represent the interests of the residents of the 5th Legislative District. To quote his bio again, " Prior to being elected Recorder, Fred was employed in the banking and mortgage industries for twenty-three years and was the owner of Hamburg Home Mortgage Service since 1993...A lifelong Berks County resident, Fred graduated from Wilson High School in 1980 and from Kutztown University in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration/Management."
