Campaign Van comes to Castle Hill

Yesterday we introduced the Castle Hill neighborhood to our campaign effort as we brought the van, literature and a small army of volunteers to the neighborhood. The response was overwhelmingly positive! School bus traffic and idling (and pollution) from the nearby bus depots as well as illegal waterfront dumping are huge issues for homeowners along both sides of Castle Hill Avenue. These are issues that I will work towards solving when I am elected.

By simply showing up to discuss these issues with residents as we passed by their homes, we began to realize that we were engaging residents in a way that they have not experienced in a number of years. People deserve to have elected officials (or candidates) reaching out to them. Apparently not much has happened in that regard lately. But when I am elected, there's going to be a big change in how the community is involved with local government.
