I for one appreciate any person who is willing 1) to run for public office and 2) stand out in the blazing afternoon heat here in The Villages to introduce themselves to the voters. I met a very nice woman today running for School Board who gave me a handout and let me be on my way. I'm glad she reminded me that there are school board elections coming up in August that I need to educate myself on. And I appreciate being able to meet a candidate in person, rather than having to rely upon advertising in the media which only seems to pander to the voters.
