To the Editor:

We urge residents of District 2 in Stevens Point to vote for David Schorr as their alderperson. Schorr brings lots of organizational, policy and political experience to the position, as well as a down-to-earth and gently direct interpersonal manner that will allow him to work successfully with the other members of the Common Council.

If elected, he will do much to help resolve current citywide problems and represent the interests of District 2.

Schorr seeks to maintain the livability of Stevens Point and even improve it, whether this means assuring the availability of quality housing for low-income seniors or seeing that future city street expansions and renovations include bicycle and pedestrian safety and access.  He is aware that the thriving Wisconsin cities of tomorrow will be those that are not only economically vibrant, but also sustainable, environmentally sound communities attractive to young adults and growing families.

A vote Tuesday, April 5, for David Schorr is a step towards a great future for Stevens Point.
