Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your 8 to 4 workday”.

Simcox has served as Assessor of Property for the past 12 years.  He told CNF that his only desire is that whoever runs for the office has a sincere interest in Cumberland County and serving the people with integrity and honesty.
