Thank you, Howard, for hosting!
Dear Fellow Le Royans,
Happy Labor Day! We mark this holiday by remembering workers and their struggles for a fair and equitable work place and the fight for living wage jobs. It is exactly what made Le Roy a great place to live for the past couple of generations. It also marks the end of summer and beginning of the school year. For me it has a more personal meaning this year as we send our youngest son, Cal off to college.
But, as melancholy as it is to send off my youngest, it is exactly the right time for me to run to be your next County Legislator. I have spent the last 30+ years involved in many community service organizations -- mostly to benefit and enhance children in our community. I am so proud and humbled to have recently been named Le Royan of the Year. I love Le Roy so it will be a privilege to serve for the betterment of our community on a different level.
While my degree and work has been in Human Services, I am not exempt from business experience. My husband Reid's law firm is a small business that we have built together. His firm has created jobs for Le Royans as well as served our citizens when they are in need of legal work. We also know and appreciate the challenges of making payroll as well as the bureaucratic stumbling blocks associated with self employment. I also serve on the Le Roy Business Council. For this reason and because small businesses are the fastest growing sector of job growth in this economy, I will be a strong advocate as your next Legislator.
Times are extremely challenging and it is my intent to take a no-nonsense, can-do approach to county government. I have never been timid and am certainly not afraid to ask either "why?" or "why not?" when faced with decisions that have an impact on citizens and tax payers. My 12+ years serving on the Le Roy School Board has given me experience in important decision making for the public interest. I believe that the Legislature has a responsibility to the people to implement oversight and accountability and I am the right person to challenge the status quo.
I am humbly asking for your support on November 8th. I am endorsed by the Democratic Party and the Working Families Party, lines A and E. I appreciate your confidence and I appreciate your vote.
Sincerely,
Jackie
