September 25, 2009 - All four candidates appeared at West Shore Middle School today to meet with the 8th graders. Each candidate was given five minutes to introduce themselves to the audience. Unfortunately, some of the opening statements went a bit too long and there wasn't time remaining to take questions from the students.

Genevieve spoke about the need for everyone to get involved in the political process. She spoke about American history, pointing out that 100 years ago women could not vote. If it weren't for the people who stand up and get involved, she said, she would not be able to run for mayor today.

She encouraged all of the students to pay attention to the news, learn about the issues, and get active in their community.

Genevieve, who spoke first, was eager to hear the students' questions and was disappointed that time did not permit.

If any Milford students would like to ask her a question, please send her an email at gen@salvatore09.com, and she will be happy to get back to you.

Thanks to Mr. Acri for organizing this wonderful event.
