Spannuth is simply the right choice for Surfside
I know Wanda Spannuth.
When I sat down to write this, that's all I could think about. How many of us truly know the candidates that run for elections? Have we been to their home? Have we experienced a heart-to-heart conversation with them? Or do we simply look at their photo and decide they look nice?
From my first conversations with Wanda, we discussed events in the world, in the community and what we could do to fix it. People criticize when another isn't doing it right, not offering suggestions, just critical mumbo jumbo.
That's too easy.
Problem-solving and having the drive to want to fix problems is a lot harder. I asked Wanda why she wants to run. After all, she is retired and can just kick back.
Her reply was simple: “I want to help people.”
Wanda opens her home, her heart and her time to helping others. She wants to put her thumbprint on life. She wants to make a difference. Why would she not make a great council member?
