Dear George,

I have good feelings about each of the Democrats who are seeking a slot on City Council. That said, I believe that Blake Caravati most deserves my support.

Blake has put exceptional time and energy into being a member of City Council and into being our Mayor. His in-depth knowledge of our city's govenment and the problems and opportunities that we face is exemplary. Mayor Caravati's eagerness to listen to, seemingly, each and every one of us citizens and to try to see our problems and concerns as we see them is, in my experience, truly extraordinary. He has shown us repeatedly that he can work with other members of City Council who hold opposing views to build consensus.

Blake Caravati is a "public servant" in the best sense of that term. Blake has my whole-hearted support. I urge my fellow Democrats to support Blake Caravati for City Council. This man has earned our respect and our support!

Yours sincerely,

Howard Kutchai (electronic mail, February 19, 2002)
