By DAVID IZRAELEVITZA recent mailing by the Sharon Stover campaign highlights portions of a 2011 Monitor article where I am quoted complimenting her on her leadership abilities.

Letter To The Editor: Your Vote Counts
By JODY BENSONAs we registered voters at the Farmer’s Market and LAHS, I was not shocked exactly, but more, disappointed that too many people stated that they never vote because (1) they hate the candidates, (2) they don’t know the candidates or the issues, or (3) it doesn’t matter. They did not register. Now they don’t have the option.
The first opinion is personal, and therefore inarguable. But (2) and (3) are destructively untrue.
