This is the Letter to the Editor detailing why I think the people of Palmyra should vote to re-elect Councilman Jim Welch in this year’s election.
I’m writing to encourage all Palmyra residents to vote for Councilman Jim Welch on Election Day, Tuesday, November 8, 2011.
Jim is someone almost everyone in Palmyra knows. He not only has been a life-long resident, he also owns and operates a business that is woven into the fabric of our town. Because of all of this, there is much that can be said about Jim’s positive involvement within our community. However, I’d like to take a moment to focus on his impact as an elected member of our town government.
Over the last two years that I’ve had the pleasure to serve on the Town Board with Jim, I’ve come to really respect him for the calm demeanor he brings to the position, the logical way that he works through issues that face Palmyra and the thought-provoking questions he asks that bring important issues to light. Together, these traits combine to result in proven leadership that works for all of Palmyra’s residents.
During a time when everyone is trying to do more with less, it is good to know that Jim’s years of experience, his business acumen and his overall professionalism are there for all of us to lean on.
Like the other members of the Republican Team running in this year’s election – Ken Miller for Supervisor, Mike Boesel for Highway Superintendent, Mike Lambrix for Councilman, Bill Abbot for Town Justice and Lynne Green for Town Clerk – Jim Welch is an asset the people of Palmyra can depend on. That is why he should be re-elected.
Have you ever written a Letter to the Editor? If so, what was it about?
