Several years ago, an important issue in my community was coming before the Assembly. Time was short and I wanted to express my concerns. I made some calls, one of which was to then District 2 Assembly Member Matthew Beck, even though I lived in District 7 and he wasn’t “my” Assembly person. Nonetheless, he took the time to listen carefully and discuss constructively, and invited me to call again if I needed to. That’s what elected officials should do, but often do not. I was impressed. Matthew Beck will be a great Mayor.
