Dear Fellow Citizen,
There is a need for energized and driven leadership in our district from a person who has the ability to bridge divides in order to get real work done. I have the skills needed to provide balanced leadership in metro council, and have proven experience bringing diverse groups together to plan and implement large projects around complex issues.
I decided to run because I believe that as District 8′s representative we can become a more sustainable community while reinforcing the neighborhood’s standard of living. I will do this by preserving the unique character of our historic neighborhoods, fighting for our local businesses, addressing public safety issues, and increasing environmental programs such as business recycling and composting.
Please join me in my campaign to revitalize the Metro Council with leadership that finds creative solutions to our daunting problems. I appreciate your support and look forward to meeting with you.
Your candidate,
Mason Roberts
