Sherman approaches challenges with integrity, commitment to what’s best for community

Editor:

I am honored to write this letter on behalf of my mother, Mayor Marguerite Sherman, candidate for mayor in the upcoming Village of Medina election.

Over the past few weeks, I feel as though the rhetoric that divides us as a community has created a lot of noise and has done little to strengthen us as one. Real progress comes from thoughtful leadership, honest conversations, and a willingness to work together for the good of everyone who calls Medina home.

At the end of the day, we all want the same thing: to see our community thrive. That is my mother’s vision. She is a dedicated leader and an effective public servant to the Village of Medina.

I chose to raise my family here and to teach here because I believe deeply in this community. I see the potential in the people, the pride in our neighborhoods, and the opportunities for our future. This place matters to me not just as a resident, but as someone invested in the next generation growing up here.

A lot of that belief comes from the values my mother, Marguerite Sherman, instilled in me—hard work, caring about your neighbors, and standing up for what you believe is right. When you grow up with those values, you learn that community isn’t just a place you live. It’s something you show up for, support, and work to improve, which is exactly what she has done and will continue to do.

Throughout my life, I’ve watched my mother approach challenges with integrity, experience, and a steady commitment to doing what she believes is right. Her belief has always been that leadership is not about personal recognition or political noise—it is about service, accountability, and making decisions that help move a community forward —making thoughtful decisions that benefit everyone.

My hope is that as we move forward, we remember that our shared goal should always be to strengthen the place we all call home. I encourage residents to vote Sherman for Mayor on March 18th.

Sincerely,

Kayla Rosenbeck

A proud daughter
