Candidate Meet & Greet

     To all of you who came to the candidate meet and greet tonight, I want to thank you for taking time out of your busy lives to listen to us, so that we can listen to you.  We need more of that honest dialog in our politics.  I was so inspired listening to other candidates' background and ideas.  I have always known that Windcrest was a special place, but I have been worried in the past few years about the direction toward the politics of division and whisper campaigns.  That is not the Windcrest I grew up in.

     I also want to thank all of the citizens who spoke up about their ideas and concerns.  Almost everything I heard strengthened my belief that despite whatever differences we have, there is a lot more we agree on and a true spirit to work together for the betterment of Windcrest and the Water District.  I really felt that all the candidates were people I could work and compromise with, and enjoy doing so.  I am looking forward to the next candidate meet and greet and I hope to meet more of my fellow citizens.

     I have submitted my campaign sign design and should receive them soon.  I will have a sign in list at the next meet and greet for anyone who wants one.  You can also e-mail me at mchalbert12@gmail.com

Thank you and take care,
Matthew C. Halbert
