An Email from a Ward 3 citizen

A door to door encounter led to the following email. This is the reason I have focused more on going door to door rather than throwing a sign out on every corner.

I would like to thank you again for personally stopping by tonight to introduce yourself and to direct me to your website.The importance of getting out and meeting with constituents is far too often underestimated. Also, I feel too many people are uninformed voters and I admire your innovative approach. I just wanted to express my support. One issue that has concerned me over the 3 years that we have lived here has been safety. My husband is in the Army National Guard. He has been away for training for the past year and half, leaving myself and my 3 year old here alone. There have been times when I have tried to contact the Levy police department substation to report disturbances around my area and no one answers the phone for hours. I also like that you see the potential for growth and investment in this area. Levy is in a wonderful location and has a lot to offer but really does have a bad rep. I think building on the attractions in Ward 3 and creating a prosperous community environment are definitely admirable and attainable goals. It is refreshing to see a candidate that seems to understand the issues in this ward; has the plan and initiative to improve it; and is accessible and accommodating to constituents concerns.

Thanks!
