Editor, Daily News:

In support of Anita Cereceda for Lee County Commissioner, District 3:

As a small business owner in Fort Myers for 20 years, I have known Anita as a customer and a friend. She was the first mayor of Fort Myers Beach and brought together factions that could not agree for years.

She has been an active member of Lee County and has served on a number of boards and commissions. Anita is one of us and understands the current and future needs of Lee County better than any politician. She gets involved in the needs of the community and understands the real problems we face every day.

Anita is smart, articulate and get things done. She will be an excellent county commissioner!

She needs our support and we need Anita Cereceda as our next county commissioner in District 3.

Vote early, vote by mail or vote on Aug. 26. Just make sure you vote!
