Letter: It’s better out there than you think

To The Editor,

letters1Who isn’t weary and disgusted by the national news? This election year is like nothing we’ve ever seen. It seems as if the news has a new, even more, outrageous story every hour. People are overwhelmed by the anger, political spin, and the hourly updates.

I have good news. It is better out there than the news would lead you to believe.

I’ve always said that the best part of campaigning is meeting voters. So far, I’ve been to more than 11,000 voter’s homes, and you know what? The overwhelming majority of people, even if they don’t agree with me, are polite, kind and respectful.

I wish you could experience what I do as I travel from one end of my district to the other.

I wish you could meet the people that I’ve met, hear their stories and spend a little time listening to them; you would be as optimistic as I am.

We are a diverse, thoughtful and caring community and we will make it through this election cycle together. My suggestion: Turn off the news and visit your neighbor. It’s better for everyone.

There is a lot of serious business at hand, and we need to be attentive, but we can also be kind, considerate and willing to listen to each other. Most people are only too happy to talk about what concerns them, their families, their friends.

After talking to all of those voters and looking forward to talking to, even more, I can tell you; it’s better out there than you think it is. 

Susan Rzucidlo,

New Garden

Candidate for the 158th District

Pa House of Representatives
