Ritter offers village strong leadership

I am writing this letter on behalf of Ed Ritter, who is running for Carpentersville village president. Having grown up in Carpentersville, attending Carpentersville Middle School and Dundee-Crown High School, I am confident that Ed Ritter will do an outstanding job for the benefit of the village of Carpentersville and its residents.

Ed is a teacher in District 300 and has been a respected colleague here at Westfield Community School for the past 10 years. In the years that I have worked with Ed, I have observed his passion for teaching the youth of our community. Ed is a team leader who cares deeply for the personal growth and success of each student entrusted to him each year. His rapport with students, parents and co-workers here at Westfield combine to help achieve his goal of helping each student go forward into this community as a strong citizen.

One of the qualities that I most admire about Ed is the passion that he exhibits for any cause in which he believes. As a result, his students and team consistently excel in community fundraising efforts here at Westfield. He holds his students to a higher standard; they can be proud of their achievements. This unique quality is delivered in the most consistent manner, making Ed a fine example to his colleagues in the district.

Ed Ritter is committed to reaching his goals. Once elected as the village president of Carpentersville, his leadership style will undoubtedly bring about the positive changes needed within the community. I proudly endorse Ed Ritter as the man that will continue to ensure that Carpentersville is the kind of village where parents are proud to reside and to raise their families.
