Joan Fischer runs on her reputation
A reputation for past results is helping Democrat Joan Fischer.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY -- Joan Fischer, a 73-year-old redhead from New York, always wears a hat when campaigning.
She's not exactly showy -- her favorite is a straw thatch with a snug brim -- but, when you're a Democrat running for Charlotte County Commission, you do what you can to get noticed.
The last time a non-Republican was elected to the county's most influential board was more than a dozen years ago, in 1992. The last time registered Democrats outnumbered Republicans here was 1978.
Charlotte voters get a choice, thanks to a Democrat

excerpt:
...Wait a minute, folks. Loftus still has another election to win. And his opponent, Fischer, is the real thing.
She's a former nurse and teacher with a master's in business administration. At age 73, she's not ready to rest.
Someone asked whether the campaign is wearing her out. "Not at all," she said. "It's invigorating."
The Race Is On!
Congratulations to Joan Fischer, candidate for County Commission District 4!
Joan collected 1257 petitions from Charlotte County voters before the 6/19 deadline, and she will be on the ballot in November! (1138 were required to waive the filing fee)

PORT CHARLOTTE -- Joan Fischer once led the effort to get an elevator in the Port Charlotte library. Now she wants to serve on the Charlotte County Commission.
Fischer, 73, and a Democrat, has never run for public office. But, she said, "I've faced stiff competition all my life."
Fischer hopes to replace District 4 Commissioner Matt DeBoer, who has announced he will not run again.
