Right on Target for Change

Collaborating and connecting: the team for change!

As I walk through the streets of our city, meeting and greeting residents, the issues and concerns for many are the same.  Although the First and Fourth Wards are different in nature, the cry for Honest, Ethical, Leadership for Plainfield is echoed.  The residents speak of their displeasure with the current administration, of high taxes, public safety, education, PMUA, roads, the budget…you name it, there is a genuine concern.

Residents are excited to see a new face, to hear a new voice, and to welcome the change that is coming to Plainfield.  They are fatigued by the same old status quo.  They are disheartened to observe our elected officials wrangling with one another.  They would rather see the officials lay aside politics and meet their needs instead. They, like President Obama, embrace “change we all can believe in.”  They profoundly support grassroots efforts to get the job done, and that is what our campaign is about. You have seen us as we knock on doors in your neighborhood. We are all volunteers, community people who care about Plainfield, and who are devoted to doing what it takes to improve our city.

It is a sad commentary when the news media and others portray Plainfield as a city without a vision. Without a vision, the people will certainly perish.  The city of Plainfield has great potential and its residents deserve the best.  We are all aware of the economic constraints placed on us by the local, state, and federal government.  However, we can forge ahead and make this city a model city.  Progress comes when everyone has a mind to work.

I am proud to be that new face and voice that is right on target for change.  I am my own person who is not beholden to anyone other than the Spirit that lives within me.  I stand for truth and speak from my heart. 
JUNE 7th is approaching fast and the train is already on the tracks for change.  Will you get on board or will you be left behind?  There is a simple formula that will effect change in Plainfield.  You will find it in COLUMN C in the voting booth.  The formula is:

  Connection + Collaboration = CHANGE.  

As we connect and collaborate with each other, change will be the result.

Yours truly,
Dee
