It means something to be a part of a community. I’ve lived in Louisville now for over twenty years. It’s a good place to live. It’s a good community. I think that we can hold our own with any other community in the United States for being a good place to live and bring up a family. I worked for almost twenty years as a lieutenant for the State Department of Corrections, but now I am retired. It’s nice to be retired, but if you work in public service for that long, you don’t just sit and think to yourself “job well done”. Because the job is not done. You can continue to support your community by being involved. Even in a good community there are always things that need improvement or continued support to make things better for everyone. Support for police, firefighters, EMS services, religious activities, worthy charities and support for good people as candidates for local and state offices are all ways of keeping your community a good place to be.
I recently put up a blog post on both Blogspot and WordPress that promoted the candidacy of Sandra L. McLaughlin for the position of District Court Judge. I gave a point by point list of her qualifications for the position and believe me they are impressive. What I didn’t do was talk a lot about why I am supporting Sandra’s bid for the district judge position.
To begin with, I was unaware that she was even a candidate until she told me that she was running for the job. I’ve known Sandra (Sandy) for several years because I do business with MAC Properties, a property business that she operates. She did a lot to improve the property that she rents and to improve the habitat where her tenants live. That’s good business, good business practice, and it is good for the community. The tenants are grateful.
I visited the web site Vote for Sandra L. McLaughlin for District Court Judge and I was surprised by just how qualified Sandy is to be a district judge. The Lady is not about personal aggrandizement. Her record of accomplishments as an attorney and citizen includes work with disadvantaged children, promotion for the Louisville Zoo and work with many worthy local charities(The Healing Place and Bluecoats), as well as, her service as an Assistant Commonwealth Attorney shows someone that cares about people and the value of being a caring member of the community. Please, check out the site for yourself. The link above may not work for you. You may have to google it. You can also access Sandy’s site from the facebook group page “The Kentucky Conservative”.
If you find that you might be interested in supporting Sandra for the position of District Judge you can either donate to her campaign, or volunteer to support her by passing out literature in her behalf in local neighborhoods. Visit her site and follow the appropriate links. She can use your help and will appreciate whatever assistance that you can offer.
Support your community. Support Sandra L. McLaughlin for District Court Judge! This is the kind of person we need in public office.
