Showing Up is Half the Battle

Our State Representative, Tony Payton Jr., stopped by Ayuda today as he was walking around the neighborhood visiting constituents. You gotta love a politician who just drops in to say "hello." After years of absentee-representation by Bill Reiger, Rep. Payton is a huge improvement for our community and he has my full support. I have no idea what he has done on a policy level, but he has brought Harrisburg to the street. I have full confidence that if I have an issue that needs a voice in Harrisburg, Rep. Payton will give me his full attention. I was actually working on a letter to City Council when he stopped by. I printed out a copy for him and he agreed to take some action. How often does that happen in politics?
