Letter the the Editor: Re-Elect Mark Bellows for Mayor

To the editor:

I am writing this letter to ask for your vote in November to re-elect Mayor Mark Bellows and allow him to continue leading our city forward.

I could talk about Mark’s personal commitment and stewardship to our community, but I think many of us already know a lot about Mark, and his personal commitment to our community.

What a lot of people do not know about, however, is his true commitment as a public servant. During his nearly ten years on the city council, and the past two years as Mayor, Mark has always put the voice of citizens before the interests of the council and staff. He is not afraid of making hard decisions. He is not afraid to ruffle some feathers with city staff and council members. He isn’t afraid to speak honestly and openly during council meetings. Most importantly, he isn’t afraid of letting citizens speak untimed and uncensored.

He, truly, represents the citizens of Lakeville.

If you feel that Lakeville has been a wonderful place to live, raise a family, and run a business, I would encourage you to once again, give your vote to re-elect Mayor Mark Bellows this November.

Charles Gerk, Lakeville
