It has been nearly two years since the Janesville voters elected me to the City Council. Back then, hiring of the new city manager was among the main issues in the election. The economy was a concern but the GM plant was still making SUVs and the future of our community seemed likely to be more or less the same as it ever was. So much has changed.
It is now the time to take out the papers at the city clerk’s office for those who are looking to run in the spring election and I have done so. I look forward to a good discussion on the last two years and on what needs to happen in Janesville in the next two. And I very much look forward to getting your signatures on my nomination papers.
Some have said that being on the City Council is a “thankless” job but if anything, I find myself filled with an incredible sense of gratitude for being given a unique opportunity by the voters to have this kind of impact on our community. And for that I thank you.
I am running for the Janesville City Council because I want to continue to make a positive difference in the way our council and community function. I am running because I want to make sure that no matter what the discussion is, that all the voices are being heard. And I am running because Janesville has been a community that has given me so much and I want to continue to give back.
I am also acutely aware of the importance that government plays in our lives and as a member of the Janesville City Council I intend to continue to make sure that this power is used responsibly and appropriately.
Much has changed over the last two years in my life as well. I am now a graduate student at UW – Whitewater, working towards earning a Master’s Degree in Mass Communication. I continue to play much piano but in the last year I have also created and now produce and host my own television program.
I am very glad to have Nick Fitzgerald join me once again as my campaign treasurer. Over the past two years Nick has made a great name for himself in our community and I’m proud to call Nick a friend.
Because feedback and communication are very important to me, I always look for ways to create more opportunities to interact with you in person, on the phone or online. My website is http://www.yurirashkin.com/ and the Facebook page for my campaign will be up shortly. I always welcome your comments, ideas and suggestions.
Once again, I very much appreciate the opportunity you have given me two years ago and take this occasion to ask one more time for your signature, your support and your vote.
Sincerely,
Yuri Rashkin
