That's we we got last night--Karaoke and Kristin as it was Karaoke night at The Cottage and Kristin Jacobs was there to give us her tune as to why she should be our next Congresswoman District 22, the very same District where Allen West was such a success. She worked the room and introduced herself to all who came to meet and hear her speak.
With personality plus, she is a warm and friendly gal...someone you immediately like. We don't know much about Kristin here in Palm Beach County and she is running against a power house in Lois Frankel. Right up front I told her I was a registered Democrat and an Allen West supporter. That usually startles most people but Kristin took it in stride admitting that our country faces a lot of challenges right now.
Kristin serves as Chair of the Broward County Climate Change Task Force, Chair of the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, Chair of the Energy Committee for the National Association of Counties, and serves on the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization. She was also recently selected as Chair of President Obama’s White House National Ocean Council Governance Coordinating Committee. (I should have asked her about that!) Currently she is Broward County's Vice Mayor and Commissioner.
Believing that people have a right to drink clean water, breath clean air, learn in safe schools and earn fair wages, as well as have a right to Social Security and Medicare programs that keep our seniors healthy and financially sound, Kristin says that she is what is needed in Washington.
For more on Kristin Jacobs, visit her on Facebook or follow her feed. The Primary is August 14.
I will vote for her, but am lukewarm about her. She is the most environmentally aware candidate, but over time has become swayed by developers and lobbyists. She is still the best choice but I wish she had stayed closer to her original ethics.
ReplyDeleteWhat you say has merit. Lisa Maxwell, lobbyist, introduced her to the crowd last night. That was an interesting twist as Lisa says she has known her for 15 years.
