Dear Honorable Suttle,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including 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, and many others. Honorable Suttle, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work when you served as 50^th Mayor of Omaha, Nebraska to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as 50^th Mayor of Omaha, Nebraska from 2009-2013, I truly appreciate on how you were 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 liked on how you support expansion of jobs-training programs to help train youth including workers to develop or improve on work skills  to help prepare for the work force and support an increase in the minimum wage to help assist minimum wage workers afford to live.  Expanding funds to help improve special education to help students with disabilities get accommodations they need to learn, implementing literacy programs to help adults including students develop literacy skills or improve on comprehension,  and pushing for after school programs to provide students with help on their assignments from tutors or get them involve in recreational activities are great ways to improve education. On the environment, I liked on how you support funds for renewable energy resources to help reduce addiction to oil with gas, encourage businesses including industries to use energy efficient products to help reduce high energy cost while reduce pollution, and push for funds to help keep parks including water resources clean to make them safe for people to use. Another thing that I liked about your work as Mayor of Omaha, Nebraska was how you pushed for more bicycle lanes to help protect people who ride bicycles from getting hit by vehicles, expand on programs to help people who are homeless including people who are low income get food including hygiene products, and support more drug treatment programs to help drug users get the care they need.

Honorable Suttle, 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  50^th Mayor of Omaha, Nebraska gives me motivation to learn history including 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, and many others.

I strongly believe that you made a great difference in public service. I’m very proud on how you worked hard to support civil rights, protect the environment, improve on education, expand on social justice, and many others. You have inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn more about your work, and continue to learn different subjects. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to advocate for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
