I’m enthusiastically supporting Miro Weinberger for mayor. I’ve known Miro for 15 years.
I trust Miro’s judgment, experience and values. We met through our work to create affordable housing and jobs for formerly homeless individuals. Miro pairs an uncommon combination of hands-on experience in finance and business management with a demonstrated commitment to serving our most vulnerable citizens.
Our city very much needs Miro’s expertise in finance right now. Without addressing our financial challenges, we can’t move forward. Miro has proven that he cares deeply about the issues that are important to me: education; a just, diverse and healthy community; affordable housing and sustainable economic development.
From advisory committees, to commissions and non-profit boards, Miro has served Burlington in many ways that will be important to our future — and has developed the knowledge and relationships to help us realize our shared hopes for Burlington at its Best. I tremendously respect Miro’s thoughtful and skilled leadership. Miro is a trustworthy leader who possesses the qualifications our city needs.
This unique combination of values and experience puts Miro in the best position to win the general election in March. Please join me in electing Miro as the Democratic nominee.
