Dear County Executive Constantine,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, social justice, environmental protection causes, and ethics reform. In these subjects, I like to learn the need the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have ethics reform to help reduce corruption in government or public officials, and many others. State Auditor Galloway, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 8^th King County Executive to be very inspiring to me.

In your current role as 8^th, King County Executive, 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 expressing the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination in order to help protect minorities, women, and people with disabilities’ from being discriminated.  On the economy, I like on how you push for more jobs-training programs to help train youth including workers to develop work-skills to help prepare for the work-force and pushing to increase the minimum wage to help assist minimum wage workers afford to live.  Your approach to improve education reform like support funds to improve special education to help students with disabilities get accommodations they need to learn, provide funds to schools to help expand on basic classes, arts, history, and science to help make education diverse, and work with schools to find ways to implement after school programs to provide students with help on their assignments from tutors. Supporting funds for renewable energy resources to help reduce addiction to oil with gas, encouraging businesses to use energy-efficient products to reduce high energy cost while reduce pollution, and expanding funds to 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. Another thing that I like about your work as King County Executive is how you express the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants including refuges from oppressive countries, support drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, and push for ethics reform like ban on gifts to staff members of the King County Executive from lobbyist or lobbying groups to reduce corruption.

County Executive Constantine, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have a 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 8^th, King County Executive 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 the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have ethics reform to help reduce corruption in government or public officials, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights, protect the environment from pollution, push for education reform, and advocate for social justice, and many others. You have inspire me to work hard on my disability and to continue to learn history including social justice, environmental protection, and ethics reform. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard on my disability, and inspiring me. Please continue to work hard to make a great difference and please continue to advocate for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
