Election results offer optimism in region and beyond
Editor:
Tuesday’s state and local elections offered many reasons for optimism in my opinion. In Irondequoit, a teenager – Isaiah Santiago – got elected to the school board. And he is Hispanic!
When Republican Mark Assini lost his bid to unseat Adam Bello for Monroe County executive, he gave a superb concession speech. In it, Assini swallowed his disappointment, sincerely congratulated Bello, and firmly advised his followers to get behind the incumbent for the good of the community and forget political animosity to get things done for the well being of all. His speech had class written all over it.
Statewide candidates in places such as Kentucky and Virginia won decisively whether endorsed by Donald or not.
There were more encouraging indicators, but in the interest of brevity I chose to keep this short.
Sincerely,
Gary Kent
