Letter: Supports Armitage for Congress

Editor: For the first time in many years, Democrats in St. Johns County have a good chance of unseating John Mica in U.S. Congressional District 7. I am supporting Faye Armitage.

Faye is a former professor of economics. She is the mother of five children and has lived in the greater Orlando area and greater Jacksonville/St. Augustine area since 1994. Her own personal experience, having public and private experience in the areas of health care, finance and education, allow her to relate to many of issues that concern of the people in our district most and makes her the best choice to be District 7's next congresswoman.

Armitage believes in ending the Iraq occupation; she will fight for universal health care; she will ensure veterans' benefits.

She is concerned about environmental issues related to global warming. She supports women's and family issues. She is concerned about the growing U.S. debt and trade deficits. She wants to help more Americans find jobs by working on our country's infrastructures.

Armitage knows what Florida's issues and concerns are. She would be an asset in Washington, D.C., representing the residents in District 7. I am urging Democrats to vote for Faye Armitage.
