I’d like to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for the warm welcome my family and I have received since moving to Mount Kisco two years ago. The support and camaraderie from our neighbors and fellow community members have been truly remarkable.
Our decision to transition from the bustling city to the welcoming embrace of a smaller Westchester community like Mount Kisco was significant for our family. We were seeking refuge from the fast-paced urban life and aspired to be part of a community where our local leaders are genuinely committed to serving and making a tangible difference for all residents.
Mount Kisco stood out to us for several compelling reasons: the diverse makeup of its residents, the excellence of its school system, the friendly and inclusive ambiance of the village and the natural beauty that surrounds it, among other factors. My interest in delving into our community’s history and its political landscape has grown, and I’ve immersed myself in understanding the intricacies of Mount Kisco’s future. I’m supporting candidates who offer innovative solutions to our housing challenges, acknowledge the needs of our underserved populations and provide strategies for improving our telecommunication infrastructure and pedestrian safety.
I’m thankful for the local officials I’ve had the opportunity to connect with, and I hold deep appreciation for those who have demonstrated unwavering commitment to the betterment of Mount Kisco. They’ve invested time in elucidating and educating our community about the intricacies of town hall operations, village matters and the policy-making process.
As Election Day approaches, I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to exercise my right to vote for these government officials who have personally impressed me with their commitment and involvement in our community. Their presence and sincere efforts to address residents’ needs have left a lasting impression on me.
However, it’s disheartening to observe that within our community, there are individuals who primarily use their platforms to point fingers and air grievances without offering constructive solutions. I firmly believe in the importance of accountability and proactive engagement, rather than the spread of misinformation or baseless claims. As a resident and member of our Mount Kisco community, I value facts over fear.
I stand alongside those who share the common goal of enhancing Mount Kisco and preserving the beauty of our collective home. Together, we can foster an environment that promotes positive change and tirelessly addresses the concerns and aspirations of all our community members. Let’s continue to collaborate, uplift each other and work toward a brighter future for Mount Kisco and its wonderful community.
