Dear Mr. Howington:
I read with great interest your article today on Metro section about the
sad state of health for many of our residents.
As the Libertarian Candidate for Metro Mayor, I had just discussed this
issue at my press conference last Thursday, which was attended by Nancy
Rodriguez, and in my endorsement interview with the C/J on Monday 10/7 with
David Hawpe, Mr Bennet, Mr Ford, and Ms. Baye. I have pledged to be a leader
in promoting good health habits, exercise and good nutrition as the New Metro
Mayor, AND I Practice What I preach !!
I am educated and have 30 years experience as a Registered Dietitian, and
spent 14+ years at the health dept in community nutrition, and I am quite
aware of our communities poor food and exercise, and smoking record.
I see this as a major problem, as it is my goal as a Libertarian to help
people be the best that they CAN BE through Personal Responsibility,
more freedom and smaller govt. Ideal Body weight and exercise are within
everyones own control, and greatly affect a persons ability to live a
healthier, more productive life.
I am 51, 5 feet tall and weigh 103 pounds. I exercise on the treadmill
about 5-6 times a week and swim 3-4 times a week. I do not smoke.
I am telling you this because I do not believe in" do as I say- not as I
do"
Anyway, Thanks for bringing up this issue in your article. If you
revisit the subject, or know of anyone else who is, please give me a
chance to add some comments as the Libertarian for Metro Mayor......
This is truly an issue I hold dear, and could do a lot to help the
people in our Community, and I am VERY WILLING to try !!
Sincerely,
Donna Mancini,
Libertarian Candidate for Metro Mayor
