To The Editor
Karen Rogers has been a community-involved person since way back when.  She has been such a knowledgeable person of the wants and need of our town.  
She gave of herself even when she was battling cancer and conquered it.  
Many didn’t know she was going through the pain and agony at the time.  
She and her husband, Bill, have been strong supporters of our schools, children and their families as well as the middle aged and elderly.
Maybe God allowed her to be healed so she could continue where she is needed.  And needed she is, and would be excellent on our city council.  
Her opponent, Clara Jimenez doesn’t have the time to be a council member.  She was on the council before and she did not fill her chair at some of those meetings, which should be priority if you are truly dedicated.
Clara was a teacher/principal in our Toppenish School District, but now is teaching in another district out of our area.
Any of us working or who have worked in a School District knows that we devote a lot of time to that School District’s community as well. You have to be involved in a community where you teach, period.  
Karen is a well-versed woman on the laws of our community, as well as our state.  With her dedication to this community, she should definitely be elected to position #3.
Ask around at stores, hospitals, schools, nursing homes, Chamber of Commerce parades that needed help and support, etc.  The list goes on.  Karen has been there.
We hope you will think about the difference of involvement of the two ladies running for City Council Position #3, and give Karen Rogers your vote.
