Who is this PETER HOLDEN... a man who lived most of his adult life as a wanderer living in an RV. He is living in sin with a woman in Traer. He has not married this woman. If the spirit moves him, this free roaming balloon pilot will be in the road again in a flash. What in the world are we coming to when we want to elect this man?

Peter Holden has no government experience and no college education. He moves into Iowa and expects to instantly be elected major. Where is the logic in this?

Let me correct some errors in the above statements. Pete Holden married his wife Jolene on St Patrick's day this year. They live in the home they own in Traer. He is very happy with his decision to live in Traer and wants to contribute to the community by serving as Mayor. He also contributes by providing rides in his hot air balloon during fund-raising events in Traer. His rides have raised over $10,000 for those with needs. The education for his employment was provided when he served in the Unitied States Air Force.
