To The Editor:

As a resident of the 28th District, I have had the privilege of being represented by State Senator Tony Hwang for the last 10 years. During this time, Tony has faithfully and enthusiastically served all his constituents with unwavering dedication and integrity.

Tony isn’t just a senator; he’s a deeply rooted member of our community. Having lived here for over three decades, he has raised a beautiful family within our district and understands the unique needs and priorities of the residents he serves. His deep connection to our community is evident in every action he takes as our representative.

This stands in stark contrast to his opponent, who only recently became a resident of the district. Without the lived experience of being part of this community, it is difficult, if not impossible, for his opponent to truly grasp the nuances and priorities of our residents.

What sets Tony apart from other politicians is his authenticity and commitment to his constituents. An example of his genuine care can be seen every year at our annual church festival in Easton. Tony doesn’t just make a brief appearance; he rolls up his sleeves and works in the kitchen for hours, tirelessly and without complaint and always with a smile. He does this not for the sake of an election, but out of a genuine love for our community. We make sure to feed him well, of course, because everyone who knows Tony can’t help but like him.

This is who Tony Hwang is — a kind, caring, and deeply engaged individual who embodies the spirit of community. His leadership is not just about politics; it’s about people, and that’s what makes him so effective as our State Senator.

For these reasons, I strongly endorse Senator Hwang and urge all voters in the 28th Senatorial District to join me in supporting him. Let’s enable him to continue his outstanding leadership and accomplishments on our behalf.
