Mary Jo Jacobs deserves our support

Mary Jo Jacobs, who is running for Westchester County Legislator for District 10 (Eastchester, New Rochelle and Tuckahoe) is an outstanding candidate deserving of our support. I say that as someone who has known Mary Jo for many years as a community leader and fellow public school parent.

Mary Jo is distinguished by her smarts, good cheer, can-do attitude and ability to engage others. She has impressive management credentials acquired in the private sector. At the same time, as a mother of children with special needs, Mary Jo has particular sensitivity to the roles that our communities, schools and civic institutions play in providing fair chances and reasonable opportunities for individuals and families.

At a time when calm voices and collaborative spirits are so desperately needed in our public arenas, Mary Jo is the real item--an exceedingly capable person with positive energy, a clear vision of the common good and the capacity to motivate and work with others.
