Sept. 20, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: How long until Trump and Vance make up a lie about our community, and you and I now have to pick our kids up from school after a bomb threat closes it down? If that’s what they inflict on Springfield, Ohio, during the campaign, imagine what they want to do and could do with nationwide executive power.
America is great. Over a million people have died to protect it. Many more have shed blood, sweat, and tears just to come here and contribute to it. Only Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are willing to unite us around that idea despite our differences. I disagree with some of their platform, but only they want to shift politics back to resolving those disagreements and away from Trump’s weekly sideshow that incites division in our neighborhoods and families. Early voting began Sept. 20. We have eight candidates for school board and city council in Lexington that deserve your attention as well.
I am a past resident of Springfield with many friends and former neighbors there building a community while combating the hate. You can help them by donating to local services there such as Rocking Horse Health Center and The Haitian Community Help & Support Center. STEVE LANDGRAF Lexington
