Dear Wrightwood Residents and Business Owners,
My family and I moved to Wrightwood in 1981. I am asking for your support and your vote to elect me to the CSD Board.
Over the years I have volunteered with the Girl Scouts, Wrightwood Elementary, Piñon Mesa and Baldy Mesa schools, the Lions Club, AYSO, the Village Trail Keepers and the Wrightwood Property Owners Association, and at community traditions like Nights of Lights, the Easter Egg Hunt and the Spring Garden Festival. I am no stranger to being involved in our community.
I believe our CSD should be more than a place for a vocal minority to go and complain. It should become the heart of the community and the central voice of Wrightwood as we deal with the agencies and governments that are at the center of our problems and their solutions. The CSD has the means and the duty to set up committees of residents, experts and board members to tackle our challenges together.
Those challenges are real. Our septic systems are outdated. New regulations are coming for our solid waste and organic waste. Our business district needs a community approach. We have faced disasters from Mother Nature, and now from mining interests as well. The CSD should be at the forefront of planning how we prepare for and respond to these events.
I believe that when we work as a team, we can solve any problem. By bringing together people with different points of view, experiences and expertise, we can find common sense, practical solutions. Since its start in 2017, I feel the CSD has not taken the lead in being what Wrightwood needs.
If you believe, as I do, that we need to look at the CSD differently, please vote for Russ Drew and Jason Agraz for the CSD Board. We will work for Wrightwood.
Whether or not I am elected, please contact me any time with questions or concerns that the CSD or the Wrightwood Property Owners Association should address.
Thank you for your service to Wrightwood. I hope we can all prosper and grow better together.
Russ Drew
