John Carlson - White Plains Common Council Candidate
November 8th is a Time for Change
I am "a fresh candidate with the right skills." I value what my fellow
citizens have to say and I will always listen to them. I will seek the
confidence and the vote of all citizens who want city government to
be more responsive and to do a better job for them.
My mission as a candidate for White Plains Common Council is to
bring my skills as a Corporate Banker and Engineer to the council
body for the benefit of the citizens of White Plains. The city is facing
issues where my skills and education (which includes a degree in
Public Administration) can be put to good use analyzing the problems
and issues facing White Plains. Indeed, I want to "Kick up the
Common Council a notch."
My wife, Norita, and I have lived in White Plains for the past 30-years.
Our three boys grew up in White Plains. I have spent the better part
of my life here in White Plains and I dearly love this City. In fact, I
think it fair to say that I am simply a common White Plains citizen.
I am deeply proud of my professional career. I believe I have
conducted myself with nothing but respect and dignity. I have
always enjoyed the “people” aspect of the work I have done -- the
solutions to problems that I have helped solve and projects that I
have helped build have benefited people in terms of jobs, services
and products.
Politics, for me, is not a profession. I grew up in Queens and was a
JFK Democrat for a number of years. I voted for LBJ and admired
Harry Truman. But I also admired Eisenhower and I voted for Reagan.
While I am now a registered Republican, in addressing the issues
that are before the people of White Plains, I must profess that I think
that partisan political machinations or political infighting is the least
effective method to deliver more effective government for all the
people of White Plains. Politics, for me, will always be left outside of
the Common Council Chamber, where it belongs. Simply put, I share
the same goals and ambitions for the City of White Plains that every
fellow resident shares -- good government.
My vision for White Plains is:
- A place where our children are safe and protected
- A place where green parks and open spaces are free and
accessible. - A City wherein my fellow seniors and I are allowed to find the quite
life that they seek and - A City in which development, construction and preservation are well
balanced and, more importantly, very well thought out.
Indeed, I want White Plains to be a City, with its financial integrity
restored, in which my children can afford to raise their children.
My campaign is not about denunciations of any present or past
Common Council members. Honestly, I think that they all have tried
to serve the City. What my campaign is about is the simple
proposition that “I can do a better job serving the people of White
Plains, and that November 8th is time for a change.”
However, as “a fresh candidate with the right skills” to serve my
friends, neighbors and fellow citizens, I have to be elected to office.
I would suggest that if a large enough number of your friends,
neighbors and other White Plains voters agree, I will be very happy
to serve on the White Plains Common Council. Indeed, it would be an
honor.
"The fresh
candidate with
the right skills
for serving the
citizens of
White Plains
better."
“He can do a
better job serving
the people of White
Plains, November
8th is time for a
change.”
