To the editor:

The work of our city council affects us all, so these local races deserve our attention. I will vote for Leslie Schneider.

I know Leslie as a founder of the co-working space Office Xpats, and find her to be forward-thinking, collaborative and cognizant that a community can be both business-friendly and environmentally responsible.

She has a deep and true commitment to our island community.
