As a candidate for the upcoming November 5th election for Borough Assembly District 2 (Greater Palmer and surrounding area), I am often asked for information about myself and why I should be considered for election by voters. My webpage, Electlamarr.com, provides good summary information about me and my philosophical foundations. As much as I’d like to personally introduce and visit with everyone, I obviously can’t accomplish such. Therefore, here is synopsis information that I hope is helpful.
Although I’m a 21 years of service retired Air Force officer…I’m not really retired. Actually, I’m a long-time engaged community member that is extensively involved in many varied aspects of the valley and the greater Palmer area. We live in a beautiful and passioned citizen community. I have, and still serve with various Borough citizen boards and community service organizations. And I involve myself in many community activities from music, Salvation Army Christmas Ringing the Bell, and community improvement projects. I’m usually and best defined as an individual who is a careful and contemplative evaluator of issues and the reasoning of others. And one who is cognizant of community issues and supports community economic growth and enhancement.
That’s why I chose to be a candidate to succeed Assemblyman Beck. Community leaders who know and have worked with me in various capacities came to me asking that I seek the position because of my background experiences, their assessment of my decision process skills and of my sense of fairness and focus for the good and best interest of the community.
As I’m sure you are aware, the valley has/is growing so fast...and growth produces consequences and challenges. Careful deliberative restraint in government size and spending is a critical responsibility of Assembly members as they deliberate how to best continue supporting and enhancing the overall well-being and quality of life in the valley ... a proper balance of both is very important…for the near-term as well as long term. Issues for economic growth, education excellence support, health and safety, combined with State financial limitation impacts, must be addressed. Helping identify the balance that District 2 and Borough citizens desire for all these aspects of Borough governess is what my background and valley life experiences will provide.
I would be honored by your vote consideration.
Sincerely,
LaMarr Anderson
Candidate, Borough Assembly Dist. 2
