A message from our Chair

Hello my fellow Maplewood residents. The year 2007 was very interesting and challenging. To the many voters who turned out in November of 2007, THANKS. Exercising your right to vote for the candidate of your choice is very important to any democracy. It is only with everyone voting will we see a true democracy of the people, by the people and for the people.

Let's work together for Maplewood

It is obvious there were and will remain varying views on what is right for Maplewood, and who could best serve the residents. As Chair of the Maplewood Voters Coalition I am proud of the work put forth by MVC members, along with the efforts of unions and many residents both visible and behind the scenes who helped bring integrity back to Maplewood. We will continue to support your elected officials.

As we did in 2007, the MVC will continue to work with potential candidates, and we know there will be other excellent candidates stepping up in the future. Please feel free to give us an opportunity to get to know you and your IDEAS for Maplewood.

We look forward to:

• Identifying good candidates for Council and School Boards
• Developing these candidates in their goals.
• Endorse candidates we feel will best serve ALL residents.
• Advocate for their election
• Support residents and elected officials doing right by Maplewood.

In addition, IDEAS for improving Maplewood are always welcome.
