Kari is committed to doing the best job for county | Letter
The purpose of my letter is to strongly endorse the candidacy of Kari McVeigh for County Council position 1. I have known Kari for several years and have seen her in both personal and public settings. Her ability to absorb large amounts of information and distill that information to the fine points is impressive. She is also skilled in communicating that information to the general public in an understandable way. She has handled multi-million dollar budgets successfully, in her capacity of school district superintendent. This ability and deep knowledge would be an additional critical skill for our County Council. Kari is collaborative, as I have seen first-hand in a nonprofit setting. She listens and brings people in, rather than putting them off. She is not locked into a particular agenda, which allows her to both listen to and to hear what people are saying matters to them. She looks for solutions that will work for the widest possible population.
