Letter to the Editor: Race for Port Chester Mayor

To the Editor,

I am writing in strong support of Neil Pagano’s candidacy for Mayor of The Village of Port Chester. I encourage all Port Chester residents to vote for Neil Pagano in the upcoming election. Neil’s record of public involvement demonstrates consistent dedication and passionate commitment to the betterment of Port Chester. Neil is a consensus builder who works well with people from all backgrounds and parties because he has the ability to remain open-minded even when working in controversial areas. By respectfully and thoughtfully considering all relevant perspectives he has the unique ability to lead towards logical and goal driven outcomes. By keeping his eye on the prize – what is best for Port Chester and its residents – Neil is able to develop and implement practical strategies that get the job done.

I have no doubt that others will write in Neil’s support based on his intelligent approach to Village development (e.g., Starwood property, marina area), code enforcement and amnesty, and fiscal matters. I agree with his stance on those issues, all of which are so important to our Village’s future. But it is Neil’s character and demeanor, his level-headed, intelligent and respectful approach that I know will enable him to be an effective leader during difficult times. Neil Pagano’s energy and passion for Port Chester is undeniable. Neil is equipped to bring the fresh perspective and intelligent leadership that Port Chester needs. I encourage all Village residents to vote for Neil Pagano in the upcoming Village election.
