Dear Mayor Warren,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learning history including public policy. 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. Another thing that I like to learn is how different U.S. Mayors in different cities work hard to push for common sense ideas or how they inspire me. Mayor Warren, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 69^th Mayor of Rochester, New York to be very inspiring to me.

In January 2014, I was amazed on how you made history by becoming the first woman to become Mayor or Rochester, New York.   On Civil Rights, I like on how you are an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights, push for funds to help women including minorities businesses to help them compete in the economy, and expand on laws to combat against hate crime to help protect people who are different including minorities.   Implementing job-training programs to help train youth including workers to develop work-skills to help them prepare them for the economy, creating Young Adults Manufacturing Program to help teach people about manufacturing skills, and encouraging businesses to hire women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work for them are great ways to improve the economy.    Your approach to improve education like funding special education to help students with disabilities get educational accommodations to assist them on learning, expanding after-school programs to help youth get help on their assignments, working with community organizations to create volunteering programs or recreational programs to help them get engage in helping the community or keep them off from the streets, and pushing for more arts including diversity educational awareness to help teach people about diversity is common sense.  On criminal justice reform, I like on how you are working with minorities communities to find ways to reduce racial profiling to protect minorities from being oppressed, pushing for body cameras on police officers to reduce them from abusing their power, and team up with the law enforcement resources to provide treatment programs to help victims of domestic violence or victims of crime to help them get assistance.  On the environment, I liked on how you are a continuous supporter of funding renewable energy sources to help reduce addiction to oil with gas,  encouraging businesses including small businesses to use energy efficient products to help reduce high energy cost while reduce pollution, and working to improve city services to clean up parks including water resources to make them safe for people to use.  Another thing that I like about your work as Mayor of Rochester, New York is how you are working with the City of Rochester including Trillium Health to spread educational awareness about how to prevent HIV or AIDS, expanding medical research to help combat against medical diseases like Parkinson diseases, and implementing educational awareness programs in schools to emphasize he need to reduce gun violence including combat against bullying.    

Mayor Warren, 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 on Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  On Youtube I enjoyed watching “Rochester: A beacon of hope Lovely Warren TEDx  Talks” because I had fun learning about your life before you got into public office, explaining about how Rochester, NY had played history in being a supporter of Civil Rights, and giving motivation to people about the need to emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger.  Also your work as current Mayor  of Rochester, New York motivates me to continue my strong interest in learning history with public policy.  My future goal is to someday work in history or in public policy to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger, protect the environment from pollution, improve social justice, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in your role as mayor. I’m very proud on how you made history by becoming the first woman to become Mayor of Rochester, New York and how you are working hard to improve society. You have inspired me to work hard on my disability, watch your talk in TEDxTalks on youtube, and to continue to learn history.  I was wondering if you could please share some of your goals as mayor and to give me advice about working hard on my disability. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, making a great impact on society, and inspiring me.  Here is a picture of me as a gift to you for inspiring me.  I wish you well to continue to make a great impact on society and push for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
