Letter: ‘Personal agenda is not part of Tonya’s makeup’

November 8, 2022

Tonya Graham is a valuable city councilor in Ashland. We benefit from her thoughtfulness and
study of all sides of an issue.

I have found that Tonya answers our questions intelligently and clarifies our confusion. We all need to think for ourselves in order to participate in our town’s well being, don’t we? We need to be able to have city councilors inform us well.

Personal agenda is not part of Tonya’s makeup. In today’s world we are gifted to have a city
councilor with an objective outlook. Vote to re-elect Tonya Graham.
