Vote for Barbara Cray for DA
Dear Editor:
I have known Barbara Cray for almost a decade. We are members of the same community choral group: Tapestry Singers. In that period of time I have come to know her first as a fellow singer, then as a dedicated member of a choral group, and finally as a friend. In that process I have come to know a generous, enthusiastic, and honest individual. Barbara is very WYSIWYG (a computer term for What You See Is What You Get). That means I know I can rely on her to say what she is going to do and do what she says she will. To me, that is a very valuable and all too rare trait in anyone running for political office.
While we do not agree on all the issues (and who does?), I am confident that as the DA she would bring a sense of fairness and balance rooted in integrity. She knows the law, but she also knows the human aspect of applying the law. I see no bias in her one way or the other.
And perhaps her strongest trait, one that I see over and over in her, is she is kind. And when you add that in to all the other traits she would bring to the office of district attorney, that is exactly the kind of person we want and need.
