League of Women Voters, Carol E's reply

Dear Mark,

Thanks for contacting the League of Women Voters with your concerns regarding the "political landscape for candidates". Since our Board of Directors does not meet again for two months, may I suggest that you put into writing your thoughts and experiences as a candidate in local elections. I'm thinking of a short position or white paper kind of document. I will be pleased to review it along with our Voter Service committee which I chair, and we can go from there with the whole Board.

I'll look forward to receiving something in writing from you. It's good to hear from you again.

Sincerely,
Carol Emerson
