As the weeks passed, and I learned more about Sue Scheer, Mr. Katzen’s challenger to the General Assembly, 1 discovered the myriad ways in which she has served this community quietly, diligently and effectively, for martv years.
She is unequivocally pledged to education as the cornerstone of our future; she fights for the sanctity of our beautiful environment married with a desire for controlled growth; she demands strict punishment for offenders without sacrificing the need to economically sustain the healthier aspects of our society.
Over the months, a groundswell of support for Sue Scheer has threatened the incumbency of Jay Katzen. Ms. Scheer’s support comes from the grass roots. Clearly, she is upsetting the complacent status quo of a professional politician like Mr. Katzen.
And, wouldn’t you know it? The first ads on radio I heard from a desperate Jay Katzen was his bragging about all he had done in the aftermath of the floods. Not only do I find that less than manly, but it’s a direct reflection of how we would use hi§ constituents rather than serve them.
If there was any doubt left in my, mind about which candidate has the integrity, wisdom, compassion and strength to fight for our communities, it dissipated as swiftly as did Mr. Katzen’s only (and short-lived) effort : on behalf of his constituents. There’s ; no question that Sue Scheer hjts ■ earned our respect and our votes.
