In a statement, Harder said he would work to provide resources to police for fighting crime rate; reform personal and property taxes; and improve government accountability and transparency.
In November, Harder won his third term to the County Council. Previously, he served two terms as a Ballwin city councilman.
Harder, who was tabbed as the council鈥檚 vice chairman for the second straight year, has developed into one of the most vocal critics of County Executive Sam Page. He and former Councilman Tim Fitch battled Page and his office on several issues, most notably Page鈥檚 outside employment as an anesthesiologist.
