Dear Mayor Salas,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history and social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, and many others. Mayor Casillas Salas, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 40^th Mayor of Chula Vista, California to be very inspiring to me.

In your current role as 40^th Mayor of Chula Vista, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, supporting funds for women including minorities businesses to help them compete in the economy, and working with city council members to expand on laws to combat against hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different.  on the economy, I like on how you expand on job training programs to help train youth including workers to develop work-skills to help prepare for the work-force and express the need to raise the minimum wage to help assist minimum wage workers afford to live.  Funding renewable energy resources to help reduce addiction to oil with gas, encouraging businesses including industries to use energy-efficient products to help reduce high energy cost while reduce pollution, and pushing for funds to help improve city services to help clean parks including water resources to make them safe for people to use is common sense to protect the environment.  To improve education, I like on how you support funds to improve special education to help students with disabilities get the accommodations they need, implement for literacy programs to help adults including students to develop literacy skills along with improve on comprehension, and push for after school programs to provide students with help on their assignments from tutors. To improve quality of life, I like on how you work with city council to help fund the library to help citizens get access to a book or a computer in order to get resources, advocate for the need for affordable housing to help people who are low-income get shelter, and partner with the community to find ways to expand on homeless programs to help homeless people get the assistance.  Another thing that I like about your work as Mayor of Chula Vista is how you push for volunteering programs to help engage citizens to help the community, expand on community policing to have law enforcement officers engage with the community to reduce tensions, and push for construction to help improve sidewalks including streets to make them safe for people.    

Mayor Salas, 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.  Your role as Mayor of L Chula Vista, California gives me motivation to continue to learn history including social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, improve social justice to make communities safer, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society. I’m proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights, protect the environment, work on finding ways to improve on quality of life, and many others.
