With elections fast approaching, it is so important to know your vote does count. As we have watched in various local, state and government elections, a few votes did make a difference.

Our elected city officials are vital in our day-to-day life, so I want to shine a light on Rich Zwicker. Rich was appointed to City Council in 2008; however, in 2009 he needs our votes.

Rich has endorsements from many distinguished organizations. I am not one of them. I am a neighbor. While job qualifications are an essential component of any position, sincerity, being a good neighbor, a positive attitude and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get the job done are just as important.

To me – this defines Rich. You can tell a lot about a person by how they manage their day-to-day life and after 14 years as a neighbor I can vouch for Rich. If you are undecided please get to know Rich by visiting his website at: http://richzwicker.com.

Rock the Vote,
