Dear Mayor Craig,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learning history and social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, improve social justice to make communities safe, and many others.   Mayor Craig, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 56^th  Mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire to be very inspiring to me.

In January 2018, I was amazed on how you made history by becoming the first woman to become mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire. In your current role as Mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire, I’m truly appreciate on how you are a song supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, supporting funds to help minorities including women businesses to help compete in the economy, expanding laws to combat against hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different.   I like your approach to improve the economy by expanding on job-training programs to help train youth including workers to develop work-skills, teaming up with Regional Economic Development Center of Southern New Hampshire to create funds to help train immigrants who own businesses or want to start a business to understand how businesses work, and advocating for the need to raise the minimum wage to help minimum wage workers afford live.   On the environment,  I like on how you support renewable energy projects to help reduce addiction to oil with gas,  push for environmental education awareness programs to help teach people about the benefit of the environment, and work to improve city services to help clean parks including  water resources to make them safe for people to use.  On education, I like on how support funds to improve special education to help students with disabilities get the educational resources they need to learn,  work with public schools including school administration to create educational awareness to help teach youth about the need to reduce bullying,  expand on after school programs to provide youth with help on their assignments from tutors, and implement more arts including diversity programs to make education diverse to learn.  On social justice, I liked on how advocate for immigration reform to help protect immigrants including refugees from oppression, advocate for the need for affordable housing to help people who are low-income get shelter, and team up with law enforcement to expand resources to help victims of domestic violence or victims of crime get help on dealing with their trauma.  Another thing that I like about your work as Mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire is how you push for funds to help restore historical sites with public lands including attractions to improve tourism while make learning a better place and expand on drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug-abuse along with opiod abuse.

Mayor Craig, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also your role as current 56^th Mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire gives me motivation to continue to learn history and social justice.  My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, make social justice a better place to make communities safe, and many others.  My letter is a gift to you for inspiring me.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society. Congrats on making history to become the first woman to become Mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire.  I’m very proud on how you are working hard to improve Civil Rights, protect the environment from pollution, and push to make social justice a better place.  You have inspired me to work hard on my disability and to continue to learn history with social justice. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue to push for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
