You don't have to know Mayor Ginny Dickey to appreciate her style. But I'm lucky, I know her.

You could be accustomed to her steady leadership style, her welcoming smile, or her analytical approach to town issues. But there's even more there than meets the eye.

She's driven to understand our needs, she welcomes discussion of important issues and she's committed to our town's success. 

I've watched her in both small and large group settings, working to understand the issues. She doesn't shy away from making those tough decisions. Bottom line, she does her homework.

I can't imagine a more qualified leader to represent us in our town and outside our boundaries, too. 

I encourage you to vote for Ginny Dickey for mayor on July 30.
