Please turn out and vote for Suzanne Atwell for Sarasota City Commissioner


.
It is interesting to me how excited people get over national elections, yet they tend to ignore a local race. Let me point out that your vote really matters in the race for Sarasota City Commission. Less than twenty percent of eligible voters are expected to cast their ballot on or before Tuesday, April 14th. The race is likely to be decided by some very close margins. The new city commissioners will be making decisions that directly impact your life on issues like traffic, neighborhoods, businesses and the environment.

I am asking you to please turn out and vote for Suzanne Atwell. I have known Suzanne for many years, mostly because she is already very active in local civic groups. Suzanne has dedicated her life in Sarasota to improving conditions for all of our citizens. She is also smart, friendly and someone you enjoy serving alongside on a committee. I know that if Suzanne is elected, we will have someone on the commission who will really listen to our concerns, and who will work well with others to solve problems. Please join me on Tuesday, April 14 and vote for Suzanne Atwell for the Sarasota City Commission.
