Here is my endorsement of Kim Bizon for U.S. House of Representatives, 10th District.
To the people of the 10th District. Thank you to those who voted for my candidacy,
and for what Democrats stand for in our part of the world. Please consider voting now for Kim Bizon, U.
S. House of Representatives. And I
invite all citizens, regardless of political persuasion, to do the same. She won against myself and Frank Accavitti in
the August primary, in campaigns that were civil, considerate, and moved in a
positive direction. Kim will be an
outstanding representative of our area, committed, informed and
hard-working. She invested the most time
in the trenches, contacting the most amount of regular citizens, having started
her efforts long before either of us, her primary opponents. I’d venture to say she has made more person
to person individual contact with back home voters during our primary campaign,
than her Republican opponent has had in his full 2 years as our representative
in Congress.
We have the possibility of changing a dynamic on Nov. 6,
2018--from a democracy dominated by dollars and the privileged powerful, to the
personal and inclusive. We can choose a
person willing and able to listen to the people of her district. We must turn away from the arrogance and
distance of men [even a man of good Christian principle as friends attest to Representative
Mitchell’s character] whose wealth distance them from the common citizen, to
someone who’s door is open to all the people who’ve elected them. Kim Bizon is such a person. She has sacrificed much to join in completely
as a candidate, willing to fully serve her constituency. She is a Christian committed to the causes of
social justice, and environmental stewardship, involved in the best forms of
fiscal conservancy—those which respect life as they offer a path up to the less
fortunate, and a responsible welcome to the immigrant. Working people would find her in solidarity
for better jobs and wages. For all of us
she’d support renovating the roads and public education infrastructure that are
crucial to our future economy—one built on the contribution of, and inclusive
of every citizen.
