May 9: Capable Hands
Laura Corbett has my vote for mayor, without a doubt. Laura is a no-nonsense, can-do person. I can count on one hand how many people I admire as much as her.

I met Laura a few years ago when I first moved to Tyler. She had come highly recommended as an honest and fair real estate agent. I needed extra help because I didn't know Tyler at all. In a nutshell, she couldn't have been better. She listened and asked pertinent questions tuning in to my needs and preferences. She was friendly and tireless, going out of her way to make sure my move here was successful.

Since those days I have seen Laura exhibit the same positive attitude, consistent sense of fair play and earnest dedication in her personal life. She keeps a full calendar of volunteer activities, is a terrific leader and is an all-around capable, dependable person. Back in her city council and mayor pro tem days Laura "ate and slept" the issues and concerns of the council and got along well with fellow council members. I know in my heart she hasn't and won't make any decisions thoughtlessly or unfairly. That's the kind of person we need for our mayor.

If we elect Laura Corbett we can be assured Tyler will be in capable hands. Her experience will pay off in the mayor's office, as she has been immediately involved in addressing our city's concerns for years. She has already proven herself, so let's vote her in!
