To the editor:

As the parks and recreation director for the city of Apple Valley from 1986 to 2012, I had an opportunity to work closely with Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland for many years.

Mayor Mary is a leader with a passion and love for our beautiful city. Her long-standing support of the citizens of our community is second to none. Every day she commits her boundless energy to making Apple Valley one of the finest cities in America.

Kind, caring and compassionate describe some of her best attributes.

Please join me in voting and returning Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland to office on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
