Letter to The Editor - In Support of Dr. Ann K. Snyder for The Woodlands Township

Dear Editor,

As a resident of Creekside Village, I am concerned about the tone of the upcoming election for The Woodlands Township. It appears that the slate endorsed by various Tea Party organizations has a common thread—divisive tactics that are intended to drive a wedge between the villages.

Don’t we have enough of this type of political campaigning on the national scene? Do we really want to bring name-calling and promote an “us against them” mentality in our hometown? Our elections for Township Director are “at-large” for a reason. Each Director represents residents of the entire Woodlands, not just one Village over another.

Dr. Ann Snyder is a leader who embodies all that is good about The Woodlands. She builds relationships among all groups and finds common ground to get things done. She doesn’t waste her time trying to tear things apart—she puts them together and encourages positive action for the common good. I urge you to go to the polls armed with your own research for the sake of the future of The Woodlands. Read more about Ann Snyder at www.AnnKSnyder.com. You will like what you see: a proven track record of 26 years of leadership in The Woodlands, 15 years as a Trustee of the Conroe ISD School Board, President and CEO of Interfaith of The Woodlands since 2004 and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Read about her extensive list of community involvement, volunteerism and honors.

A house divided against itself cannot stand. I urge you to vote for Ann Snyder for The Woodlands Township, Position 6.
