Dear editor:

I am writing to urge your readers to vote for Cindy Ellis for state representative in the 78th District. 

Cindy has a genuine understanding of the health care challenges facing our state and significant experience in the health care industry. In talking with her, I find her knowledgeable and intelligent about a broad range of issues — especially jobs and the concerns of seniors. Her offer to donate her state salary to support a jobs program for her district is innovative and generous. 

I hope you will take the time to visit her website and attend one of her campaign events. Get to know her and you will like her.

Sincerely,

Dr. Eric P. Lester

St. Joseph
