I read with some delight Ari Ioannides’ letter about the need for bipartisanship representation. My delight came from how easy it must be to have all sides of the aisle covered. I don’t know Mr. Ioannides personally, but I know who he is. Imagine how surprised I was to see him at the Summit County Democratic Delegate convention just a few short weeks ago. I was close enough to hear him be asked “Why are you here?” He responded, “Because these are my people.”
I support Megan McKenna, who does add diversity to a male heavy board. Most importantly, however, Megan has always been the person she is … honest, raised in the community, lives in workforce housing, a teacher, and a housing advocate. Her goal is to make our community better, not to amass more notches in her belt.
