I.G. Burton virtues include honesty, integrity

August 28, 2020

This letter is to support the man I. G. Burton as we have come to know him. It would seem near impossible to know I. G. Burton and not welcome the opportunity to extoll the values and virtues of his character to those people who have not yet made his personal acquaintance.

Don’t despair if you have not yet met Mr. Burton…it is probably only because of COVID-19 restrictions that you have not had the opportunity. Mr. Burton is as welcoming to strangers as he is to members of his own family.  Knowing his parents as we do, and I. G.’s dedication to them reveals his strong sense of family values.  Counted among those values are honesty, integrity, strength of character and a moral compass.  

His resume of public service to Sussex County and the State of Delaware is well-documented and should be lauded.  I urge all who are eligible to vote for I. G. Burton for County Council, District 3.
