A Visit to a Mobile Home Park

Tonight we had the pleasure of being invited to visit a mobile home park to address the residents. They were having their monthly meeting, and we had the opportunity to introduce ourselves.

In some ways their problems are different, and in many ways their problems are the same. The people are struggling to make ends meet, and they are running against a brick wall when they try to speak to our elected officials. They have several problems, including some related to safety that they were trying to get resolved without result.

There are people from all walks of life who are part of this town, and everyone must be given the opportunity to be heard. I will listen and do what I can to represent everyone, not just those of my particular beliefs.
