Hello Barbara, 

Great chatting with you earlier today. I&#039;m sending a quick e-mail to make sure we connect. As someone who has been as active as you, I hope I can learn from your experiences as a seasoned community activist. 

Also, I want to follow up about your article. Thank you for enlightening me about how this confusion came about. However, because of the high premium value I place on transparency, I don&#039;t want to mislead your audience into believing I&#039;m a fundraiser for Democratic Party candidates. I do however volunteer my time for candidates I support but that&#039;s about it. My profession is higher education administration. 

In addition, my wife managed Monica&#039;s campaign and my wife (and Monica) did not coordinate anything including precinct walks with Tony Tiscareno.  The only campaign that coordinated with Monica&#039;s was Synitha Walker&#039;s campaign for School Board and she did not win. If you would like more information about Monica&#039;s campaign I&#039;m more than happy to connect you with my wife via e-mail.

I appreciate your work in keeping abreast with local politics and informing our community. Please feel free to contact me anytime as open two-way communication is a value I hold in very high regard. Take care and thank you for your work in the community! –LT]]></description>
