I am writing to support the re-election of Councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte.

Previous writers (Pete Gaffney and Anthony Schettino, Oct. 16) have spoken eloquently of many of her first-term accomplishments and strengths as a public servant.

I wish to add a personal thanks for the several times that Councilwoman Dalimonte responded, quickly and effectively, to issues impacting me and my neighbors.

I’m impressed with the wide range of projects and issues she has taken on during her first term and the progress that has been made despite the pandemic.

Councilwoman Dalimonte is helping to set in motion many initiatives tied to long-standing problems that previous representatives have largely ignored. She understands that our natural ecosystems, business ecosystems, and communities are deeply interwoven and that there are no fast and simple solutions.

I believe she deserves a second term in which to continue this work.
