Dear Friends, For the past ten years it has been my privilege to serve as your full-time State Representative in our 25th District. During this time I have come to know many of you . . . at your door, at your civic meetings or working together to solve a local problem. Among friends and neighbors, we have discussed many issues. Your concerns and suggestions regarding education, crime, the environment, health care and government accountability have resulted in legislation signed into law. We have worked well · together and I thank you for your support. When you go to the polls on November 2nd, know that there are significant differences between my opponent and me. I have the experience, proven leadership and record of strong community involvement, which are vital to being an effective State Representative. Most of all, I have always conducted my campaigns in a positive manner with honesty, dignity and respect. I hope that when you go to the polls on Tuesday you will agree that these are the character traits you deserve from your State Representative. As I campaign for re-election, I want each of you to know I will continue to work hard for you in the future to make our community and our state a better place for all of us! I hope I can count on your support on Tuesday, November 2nd. Sincerely, ) 1- •.
