To the editor:

My husband and I have lived in the Oakville community for over 20 years. We pay close attention to our local and state elections and understand the importance of having true representation in Jefferson City.

Cathy Summers is running to be the next state representative for the 94th District. Are you worried about the cost of gas, groceries and housing continuing to rise? I know Cathy understands these issues, as she hears these exact concerns firsthand when she is out knocking on doors. Do you have concerns about the rising cost of healthcare? Cathy understands and knows that affordable healthcare is a right. Are you worried about funding for our Mehlville Schools? Cathy understands and plans to make sure that we are truly funding our public schools.

If you want a representative who will truly listen and fight for our community, please join me in voting for Cathy Summers.
