I am happy to write this letter in support of Dick White for Durango City Council.
I have known Dick since he first came to Durango, when he was eager to get involved and volunteer in his community for the greater good. I encouraged Dick to run four years ago for Durango City Council because of his passion for positive change. He is accessible, contemplative in his decision-making and shares similar values; I equally support his candidacy today.
Watching Dick over the last four years on City Council, I have been impressed with his thoughtful responses, his leadership and knowledge regarding issues involving sustainability and his sustained efforts on the new Land Use Development Code, single-stream recycling and planning for growth. Dick and his wife, Faye, are two people I love having in my community and my neighborhood. Together, they volunteer numerous hours for many causes that they care about. They get along well with those who have different opinions, yet stick to their principles. They have inquisitive minds, always hungering for new perspectives and ideas and they generally have smiles on their faces. I have seen Dick bring these same values to issues within the city limits, and these are the values that should stay on City Council.
Please join me in re-electing Dick to another four years on the Durango City Council. He is someone I respect and value, and a voice that we should keep.
