Dear Honorable Oversen,

My name is Matthew Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including public policy.  What I like to learn in these subjects is the importance of making Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protecting the environment from pollution, having criminal justice reform to reduce crime while helping people, and many others. Honorable Oversen, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as North Dakota State Representative from the 42^nd district and your current role as Chairwoman of the ND Democratic-NLP to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as North Dakota State Representative from the 42^nd District from 2013-2016, I was very proud on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights to help protect women, minorities, and people with disabilities’ from being discriminated in education and public places. Also on Civil Rights, I really liked on how you advocated for people with disabilities’ rights, express the need for women to have equal pay to protect them from being discriminated in pay,  and fund women including minorities businesses to help them compete in the economy. On women’s issues, I was amazed on how you push for funds for women’s healthcare to help assist them and work on passing laws to protect women from domestic violence.  Another thing that I really liked was on how you worked hard to help the Native American communities like pushing for funds to help their communities ranging from healthcare through education and expressing the need to protect their reservation from toxic chemicals.  Supporting renewable energy sources to help reduce addiction to oil with gas, pushing for funds to clean parks including water resources to make them safe for people to use, and implementing environmental education to help teach people about the need to protect the environment are great ways to protect the environment. I really like your approach to improve education by funding special education to help students with disabilities get educational resources that they need advocating for the need to and pushing for after school programs to help students get help on their assignments or get involve in recreation activities, and advocating for the need for lowering college and university tuition with fees at public institutions to help people who want to get a higher education afford school even though both political parties aren’t advocates for this idea.  Another thing that I liked about your role as North Dakota State Representative is how you push for job-training programs to help train workers including youth to develop job-skills to prepare them for the economy and work with both political parties to use for a law to help better train people to use automated external defibrillator.  In your role as Chairwoman of the North Dakota Democratic-NLP, I like on how you continue to support the need to make Civil Rights stronger, protect the environment from pollution, advocate for people with disabilities’ rights,  the need to help Native Americans, and many others.

Honorable Oversen, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights and be an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  I’m 26 years old and I really like on how you made a great achievement to become the youngest person to become the Chairwoman of the ND Democratic-NLP and I really appreciate your commitment to help represent millennials.  Your role as former State Representative of North Dakota and your current role as Chairwoman of the North Dakota Democratic-NLP motivate me to continue my interest in learning history with public policy. My letter is a gift to you for inspiring me and for Women’s History Month to recognize women who work hard to make a great difference for society.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in your role as State Representative in North Dakota.  I’m very proud on how you worked hard to make a great difference for society. You have inspired me to work hard on my disability, continue my interest in learning different issues, and motivate me to learn more history with public policy. Also I’m glad that you are continuing to advocate for millennials like me who need a voice in the political environment when political parties aren’t advocate for these common sense values. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, making a great difference for society, and inspiring me.  I wish you well to continue your role as chairwoman of the ND Democratic-NLP and please continue to advocate for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matthew B. Winick
