This is my press release letter to the Messenger Inquirer. Mr. Steve Veid couldn't use all of it, of course, so I decided to post it here. Enjoy!


Dr. Carol Meza, M.D., of Philpot, is tossing her hat into the ring and running for Daviess County fiscal court commissioner (East). Dr. Meza has served our country as a Naval Officer from 1990-2002, a Navy Flight Surgeon for eight years and as a physician for the Tennessee County Health Department for two years. Dr. Meza grew up in Franklin, Tennessee, obtained her B.S. in Biology at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas, and her M.D. at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (our nation's military medical school) in Bethesda, Maryland.

Her husband, Dr. Alex Meza, works for Owensboro Anesthesia Services which contracts with OMHS. After having moved to Philpot, Dr. Meza stayed home to attend to the most important job of raising her two daughters (ages ten and two). Dr. Meza is a member of Owensboro Christian Church and has volunteered with various local entities.

A significant era has dawned upon us and Dr. Meza is ready to serve her community as county commissioner. Dr. Meza will respond to the desires of Daviess County residents when it comes to the spending of their money. She understands that the government exists to serve the people. Local governments depend on a prosperous private sector to fund its coffers. In these uncertain economic times we need to be especially careful not to over spend. Fiscal prudence is required and Dr. Carol Meza is committed to having Daviess County be as fiscally responsible as each family who resides here.
