Editor,

Tim Callison is indeed the sound choice for mayor of Langley. I have witnessed his ability to listen to people’s ideas respectfully and to help them integrate those ideas into a solution that is good for everyone. He brings with him practical and demonstrated leadership and managerial skills. His educational background combined with a technical degree and with an advanced business degree allows him to look at complicated issues and understand them fully and quickly.

More importantly Tim is a people person and loves to hear Langley citizens’ personal stories and gain a better understanding of their capabilities and what they can apply to contribute to our community.

I am impressed by the fact that four out of five sitting council members have endorsed Tim’s candidacy and see this as an indication that the city government will move forward in a productive and harmonious fashion.

It will be refreshing to have an elected mayor who comes to the office with no preset agenda and is willing to listen to the needs of the citizens of Langley and the surrounding areas and will help to find solutions to those needs.

I vote for Tim Callison.
