Dear East Saint Paul Neighbors and Friends,
I am John Thompson, a long time resident of the Eastside of Saint Paul. My family and I come from humble beginnings. I built a career working for Saint Paul Public Schools as a machinist/equipment repair technician. My family and I have always worked hard and kept to ourselves until the day my friend and co-worker Philando Castile was shot and killed during a traffic stop. At that moment, I knew that I could no longer remain silent.
It is clear to me that we need change; to work on policies that impact the disenfranchised so we can end the cycle of violence and poverty. I believe that we must change the conditions in which we live in if we want a different result; that is why I made the decision to be a public servant.
I will work for policies that make sense for my constituents, my community, and for the people who have been marginalized and left out without a voice for far too long. Paul Wellstone once said "We all do better when we all do better" and I believe that as well. The problems we face today require contemporary and elevated solutions.
I am here to be accountable to the people, and to be a voice for the constituents of the Eastside of Saint Paul, District 67A. I am very passionate when it comes to fighting for justice for the community and I believe we can make the change we wish to see. I hope you will join me on this campaign whether it be volunteering your time or contributing financially. Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
John Thompson
