Letter to the Editor: Vote for Kevin Byrne

To the Editor:

I have had the honor of knowing Kevin before he threw his hat into the ring and always thought he had the integrity, the drive , and the selflessness to put others before himself and could be a great politician and was thrilled when he announced.

I have watched this first time candidate as he went door to door who really listened and cared about what they had to say even if he did not agree with them . He never told any of the people he met going house to house that he was recovering from a terrible car accident and each step was filled with pain and each driveway or staircase he climbed was pure agony.

I wondered why he would put himself through this, watched his face light up as he talked to the homeowners and realized this campaign was about him trying to help the people despite the hardship to himself.

If there was only one reason to vote on Election Day , it would be to elect Kevin Byrne to the Assembly.

You finally have a chance to elect someone with no special interests but yours and he will work tirelessly every day , every hour, and every minute for your good. On my word of honor, there is no better man you could have the opportunity to elect.

If we let this opportunity slip us by, you may have to wait for another generation before we have the real thing on our side ,listening to us and caring about the community 24 hours a day.
