Letter to the Editor: Susan Hairston, At-Large Candidate

To the Editor:

When I heard Susan Hairston was running for the At Large spot on our city council, I was thrilled.  I've known Susan for almost two decades, on a personal level as neighbors, as Washington School moms, and as fellow parents cheering from the basketball sidelines while our daughters played for a team our two husbands coached. 

More importantly, I was also able to observe her work on the as my time on the SEF and Rec Boards overlapped her time there.  She's smart, friendly, thoughtful, and willing to collaborate — all valuable traits for a Common Council person and traits that all four of the Democratic candidates have. 

While I haven't known the rest of the slate as long as I've known Susan, I can say with confidence that Summit is lucky it has the opportunity to elect both Susan and the three other accomplished people on the Democratic slate.
