I have had ample opportunities in the past few weeks to analyze the aims and objectives of the various competitors in the upcoming elections. Your honest and pragmatic approach sets you apart from the other candidates. You have shown great concern for the residents of the community and have proven this many times in your business and personal life. Having a community leader, who has worked with that community, and helped guide them through difficult times, is a unique qualification that sets you apart.
