As an individual that has no party affiliation, I do look at the issues, and where the candidates stand on them, how the issues affect myself, my family and the people around me. Stan Gerzofsky is a senator who I believe does exactly the same thing. He attempts to look at the big picture, not how it affects today and how it will affect us all 10 years down the road, he does his best to look after the interests of the people he represents whether it be jobs, the environment, or health care just to name a few.

He has no problem discussing any issue that is important to any of his constituents at any of the coffees he holds within the district because he wants to know and understand their concerns and share his.

The dates and times of these coffees are always right in the Tri-Town Weekly. I have attended many of these coffees, and look forward to attending many more. You have to respect a person like that, that takes such an interest in what people think on the issues, even if you disagree from time to time.
