Why Social Media Usage Matters

I've highlighted several times that I'm the only candidate with a visible and active website, blog, Facebook, and Twitter presence.  To me, these are communication tools of our time.  More and more, people rely on social media for information and as a way to interact with others. 

It should matter to you that the other candidates don't have a social media presence.  You are currently limited in seeing what their priorities are.  You can't be sure what they think about any particular topic and you are limited in how you can let them know how you feel.  Sure, you can call them or email them, but that's not being open to others.  Phone calls can go to voicemail and emails can go unanswered.  Plus, you have no idea if others have expressed a similar opinion as yours to them. 

If elected, I promise to continue to use social media to express my ideas and opinions, and for you in turn to provide me feedback, opinions, and ideas of your own.  Plus, they'll be viewable by others - creating much more open communication, transparency, and (hopefully) constructive dialogue.
