I have enjoyed the eight years I have spent representing the citizens of Shakopee.  I see myself as the voice of the citizens because I'm one of you.  I hear from you on the streets,  the shop, with emails and phone calls.  I know how YOU don't mind letting me know exactly how you feel about the issues.  And that's why I have no problem repeating your concerns during City Council meetings.

And yes, there are some folks who don't like my (cough) enthusiasm when I'm putting the tough questions to them.  But the way I see it, I'm not working for them; I'm working for YOU!

So I'm asking for your vote on Tuesday, November 3, 2009.  Re-elect me to continue representing you, but now, as your Shakopee City Mayor.

Thank you,
