Release
I am sure some of you may have noticed the announcement that I am seeking the State Senate District 42 seat. My goal is to keep this blog going for announcements pertaining to my aldermanic position. I will open a new website to discuss state politics. I intend to discuss this announcement at my ward meeting on February 9th at 9:30 at the Fairmount Library. I hope to answer any questions any of you may have. Below you will find a copy of the release which was sent to the local media. Hope to see you at the Ward Meeting!
Alderman Shawn Hamerlinck Announces bid for State Senate
Hamerlinck will focus on pro-job, pro-growth, fiscally responsible agenda.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Shawn Hamerlinck
1/28/2008 (563) 388-6338
DAVENPORT – Today Davenport 2nd Ward Alderman Shawn Hamerlinck (R-Davenport) announced his bid for the Republican nomination in State Senate District 42.
“It has been humbling to have so many residents of Senate District 42 ask me to run for the Iowa Senate,” stated Hamerlinck. “Serving in my second term as an Alderman in the City of Davenport I have had a front row seat to the disastrous economic policies coming from Des Moines.”
Hamerlinck was first elected as Alderman in 2005 and was reelected for a second term in 2007. Professionally, Alderman Hamerlinck is a Youth Field Specialist in the Iowa State University Scott Country Extension office where he develops youth programming and oversees programs such as 4-H. In addition Hamerlinck is an Adjunct Faculty Member at Augustana College and Black Hawk College.
“The Democrat majority in Des Moines will have increased spending by 1 billion dollars in 2 years,” said Hamerlinck. “While at the same time they have ignored a looming 500 million dollar increase on Iowa’s property tax payers over the next 5 years.”
Hamerlinck is a life long resident of Scott County growing up on an Angus Cattle Farm in West Davenport. Shawn is married to Melissa and has two sons, Ashton and Bennett.
“It is time for the citizens of Iowa to reclaim their government from the special interest groups that set the agenda in Des Moines,” stated Hamerlinck. “The State Government is more than willing to watch itself grow at the burden of tax payers. The Legislature has forgotten that it is your money they are spending, not theirs.”

The above comment showed displeasure. I don't mind discussion. I hope we can refrain from name calling.
