Over the last few years I have steadily increased my telephone and written comments to elected and appointed government officials. Most of the comments I have made have been in disagreement with a policy or action of those officials. I have also contacted elected officials when their actions, words or political philosophy are ones with which I am more in agreement, however admittedly fewer of them. I have suggested courses of action and involvement to some of the younger as well as mature people I know. I have written a blog to express some of my thoughts and opinions. I have now involved myself in the elected political process and announce my candidacy for the Third District Seat on the West Valley City Council.
I am a candidate for elected office because one person can sow the seeds of change. One person can start the discussion, which leads to a change of opinion or stance. One person can toss the pebble into the pond, which starts the ripples of progress. One person can make a difference. Each of us is that one. When we stand as one with each other we become many. As many, each of us effects and has responsibility for the world in which we live.
I am aware there are very few of you who read this who can vote in this particular election. If you can, I ask for your voter support. Any volunteer or campaign financial assistance you may offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a great day.
