Campaign Continues

Dear Friends,




First and foremost I want to thank you all for the kind words, cards and emails while I have been away with my family. As some of you may know, my beloved mother passed away last Sunday, I will miss her greatly.



With that said, I return to Lake Park with a heavy heart, however I also return with renewed spirit to work hard to win this election and gain your support! I will continue to run a campaign of dignity focusing on the issues before our Town.



Tuesday, March 9th will be an important day in the history of our Town, as we go to the polls to determine our future. I hope you will join with me to move our Town forward and work together to make us the best Lake Park we can be.



Since I was elected a year ago, I am proud of the work we have done. The Mayor and Commission has put the interest of the Town, our residents and our employees first. Personal gain has never been a consideration. Lake Park deserves elected officials who study the issues, work for all the residents and look for solutions to the challenges that face us. I am confident that I have proven to be that kind of leader.



I am asking for your support on Tuesday, March 9th, I need your vote and want to continue to work for you to improve our Town for our future.



Together we can accomplish great things! If you ever have any questions for me, comments or ideas, please do not hesitate to contact me, as I have been for the past year, I am YOUR representative and look forward to the opportunity to continue this work.



If you will be unable to cast a vote on Tuesday, March 9th, absentee ballots may be requested through the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office through March 3rd. Absentee Ballot Request



Again, thank you for the honor of representing you and our Town, I ask for your support again.

Perspective

Dear Friends,




As many of you know my mother has been ill for several months. Over the last few weeks she has taken a dramatic turn for the worse and yesterday (Monday) I was called to Georgia to be with my family.



Obviously, I will not be in Lake Park over the next several days to campaign for re-election, however my family is the most important part of my life and I am where I need to be. I hope you understand this.



This is an important election and I AM a candidate, I will just have to take a back seat over the coming days. If you have questions or comments, please continue to email them to me and as soon as I get back to Town I will be with you all to continue our campaign, until then I ask for your prayers for my family.

Re-Elect Kendall Rumsey, Lake Park Commission










Dear Friends,

It is with excitement, towards the future, that today I announce my candidacy for re-election to the Town of Lake Park Commission.

One year ago, the residents of Lake Park honored me by electing me to the Commission for a three year term. Unfortunately prior to being sworn into office, the United States Justice Department filed suit against the Town for alleged past Voting Rights discrepancies. Over many months, the Town negotiated with the Justice Department to settle the suit and in the end a decision was reached. This decision required all Commissioners to go up for election in March of 2010, which brings us to today.

As your Town Commissioner I have worked diligently to do what is best for our Town. We have moved forward on a number of programs that are making a difference in the Town of Lake Park.

Over the past year we have added two additional Sherriff Deputies to our CRA district, making us a safer community.

As your Commissioner, I put forth recommendations to enhance street lighting in our town. Soon we will be voting on a referendum to implement this program, providing for new lighting throughout our community, a step that has proven to be a deterrent to crime, making our neighborhoods safer.

I put forth our Town’s strongest legislation to date curbing the growth of Sober/Group Homes in our R1 districts. Additionally, I am working with the State Legislature to bring forth legislation requiring that these homes be licensed.

When running for Commission, I stressed the need for our community to be informed on the issues. I pushed for more frequent communication and today our newsletter e-blast go out weekly and I have made every effort to keep you informed on the issues facing of our Town.

We have made tremendous progress in our Downtown over the past year. A new Mexican restaurant is preparing to move into the One Park Place building, our Arts Co-op will be opening soon, a new Pilate’s studio has opened and we are working hard with our existing businesses to bring more traffic to our downtown community.

The progress that has been made in our Town over the last year has been remarkable. Together, we as a community have moved forward, we are on the right path and I ask for your support in keeping this progress going.

During this campaign I will stick to the issues, the people of Lake Park deserve a campaign that is issues oriented, not driven by personal attacks. We as a community are working together to move us forward and I will continue to work diligently for you to make Lake Park the best it can possibly be.

Lake Park has a bright future and it will take all of us working together to make the dreams for our community come to fruition. I ask for your support in the March 9th election for Town Commissioner. I believe in this city and know that together we can do anything, we have made much progress, but more is needed and with your support we will continue to move in a positive direction.

Over the next few weeks, I will be going door to door to discuss the issues with our residents. If you ever have questions, feel free to contact me at (561) 889-6681 or by email at RumseyCommission@aol.com.
