Letter: In support of Munoz

I wanted to state that Representative Cathy Munoz is the most active and involved politician I have ever observed. If someone were to examine this singular aspect of her term, one could only conclude that she puts everything she has into her duties. I believe it’s because she cares that she has the energy and the drive to be this responsive to the people.

Whether you agree or disagree with recent events, it could be summarized that she is humanistic in her orientation (focusing on each individual’s potential). She certainly could avoid scrutiny by doing what many appointed persons do, contribute marginally. However, she goes above and beyond to show empathy to all people.

When it’s all said and done, a person who can see past someone’s defects of character, particularly behaviors deemed unspeakable, and connect with someone’s intrinsic value, is an extraordinary individual.
