I am writing to endorse Valencia Hall for the position of Alderman in Ward 1.

I have known Valencia for a very long time, both as a friend and as a co-worker in the Concordia Parish Schools for 16 years. 

She is a model of integrity in every issue she deals with, based on her strong Christian principles. 

She also has a passion for justice for all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, or status. 

With that said, she has a real heart for people on the margins. I saw this repeatedly in her work with the children in the school system.  

Valencia also has a strong work ethic:  she knows how to work and work hard, and I believe she will put this work ethic into the service of the people of Ward 1.

If the voters want an alderman who will be unite rather than divide, and who will place her talents at the service of all of the people she represents, please consider voting for Valencia Hall.
