Thus the Nov. 2 election for city council and mayor is especially important.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I have read through statements made by candidates on VOTE411 and watched candidate forums, and I strongly favor and will vote for Julia Parker and Hailey Lewis, two gems for city council. Julia has impressed me with her work and life experience, calm decision-making abilities, and willingness to listen and learn. Hailey has lived her life in Moscow and done volunteer work on Rendezvous and Renaissance boards and has valuable work and training in her employment as a policy analyst at SEL.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Both desire to listen to the community and work collaboratively as contrasted with candidate Steve Harmon, who says he is running “to overtake the extreme left as they fight to unravel our state and federal constitutions.” My vote for mayor goes to Art Bettge based on his experience and proven commitment to good governance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I again thank our current city council and mayor for their courage and foresight in passing the mask ordinance based on information from scientists and health authorities. This saved lives, kept many businesses open and allowed our vulnerable citizens to live safely. That decision hasn’t turned Moscow into a dictatorship in spite of the fears and claims of those who unnecessarily harassed and insulted elected officials who were doing their best for the safety of us all. Let’s hope we can do well going forward voting for good choices including Julia Parker, Hailey Lewis, and Art Bettge.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Please vote Nov. 2 to help keep Moscow a safe, livable community.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Joann Muneta<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Moscow<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><br></div>————————————————-<br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><img src="cid:F367623D-9172-4583-AB03-23B5F15F798D"></div><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/Photos/Vote.jpg">http://www.tomandrodna.com/Photos/Vote.jpg</a></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);"><br></span><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mask-up, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">http://www.MoscowCares.net</span></div><div><br></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div><br></div><div>“A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met.”</div><div>- Roy E.
