Before moving to the area, Mr. Novovitch and his wife had been working for Reuters News Agency in Washington D.C. where he was a photojournalist. Their move to the Big Bend was an important one, made after several visits to the area.

Mr. Novovitch's profession required him to be a team player and to be part of the solutions. "This is the attitude I intend to keep if I am appointed to fill the position of County Commissioner. Several topics are of interest to me, one being to work for access to a reasonable and decent Health System for all, an area which seems to be in need of serious improvement in our county-especially when it comes to transportation to out-of-county facilities when specialized care is needed."
Mr. Novovitch became a U.S. citizen in 2000, after realizing he embraced and appreciated the values and traditions of the United States. Luc stated the following: "the same appreciation is behind my decision to present my candidature for this position, as I believe democracy really starts at the local level, where individuals can make a difference through public service."

In the meantime, Judge Cano would also encourage the citizens residing in Pct. 1 to welcome Luc as their representative and share with him concerns and / or suggestions to help him have a successful appointment.
