Getting down to the nitty gritty with Milton Election 2010. There are only 12 days remaining in the campaign and things are beginning to heat up. While out door knocking last night, I found that a there are a lot of people who are starting to look at the candidates, their platforms and what they can do for everyone in the Town of Milton.
One of the main questions I am asked at the doors is “What sets you apart from your competition?”
In one word, commitment! Back in 2006 I ran for local council (for what was then called ward one…it now encompasses the new wards 1, 6, 7 & 8 ) I continued with the commitments I made then. I had promised to keep people informed of what was going on at town hall by using my website and blog as a source of information. I attended council, committee and public meetings throughout those 4 years and reported on the changes that were happening in Milton.
I spoke out against council when they made decisions that didn’t make sense and praised the decisions that did.
My commitment to serving Miltonians didn’t come at the last second. I launched my campaign back in January of this year and since April, I have been knocking on doors, leaving information on me, what I stand for and what I will do if elected.
Many of you that I have spoken with recently remember me from the first time I came around this year and from the previous times over the last few years and know that my commitment to serve Milton at town council is strongly routed in helping improve our community and make it a better place to live.
It’s my hope that after October 25th, I can continue to serve Ward 6 and Miltonians alike at the council table and to help steer it through the changes we will have to face and the decisions that we will have to make.
I want to ensure that the voters in Ward 6 have a say…to be a part of that process and for me to be your voice at the council table. I hope that I can earn your support and your vote on Election Day and be able to work for and with you for the next 4 years.
Lots of doors remain to be knocked on and even though it’s tiring physically, the support you show for me is energizing. I’ll see you at the doors.
