I’m writing to ask for your thoughts on the recent protests taking place across our state and country. As one of your constituents, I’m deeply invested in how our leaders interpret and respond to these moments of public outcry. Many of us are raising our voices because we feel unheard, unseen, and unrepresented. These protests are not isolated events—they are expressions of frustration, urgency, and a desire for real change. They represent a growing disconnect between elected officials and the people they serve. I would like to know: • How do you interpret the message behind these demonstrations? • What specific actions are you taking to meet the expectations of your constituents during this time? • How do you plan to engage with the concerns being voiced—especially by those who feel increasingly marginalized or silenced? Please understand that silence or vague responses are no longer sufficient. We expect transparency, accountability, and leadership that reflects the will and well-being of the people. I look forward to hearing your response and understanding more about how you plan to represent our community moving forward.
