I have known Ramiro Valderrama since the beginnings of Citizens for Sammamish and second what other letter writers have said as they asked you to vote for him. I support him for all of those efforts in behalf of our citizens.

I would like to add though that much of my support for Ramiro is because of his caring and compassionate approach to governance. He stands tall in the city council for his sincerity in working to solve the problems that the majority of us are experiencing. By doing so he demonstrates that not only is he a great council member but also is an admirable human being. I will be voting to keep Ramiro on the council and I encourage you to do the same.

Michael J. O’Connell, Sammamish
