The Mayor & Council should not have sought resumes if they had no intention of conducting a real search. I was never contacted for an interview or anything else for that matter.
This was the cover letter to my resume:
December 20, 2015
To
Whom It May Concern:
This
letter is in support of my resume for the advertised vacancy on the Lodi council.
I was the runner
up in the most Lodi council election which was held seven months ago. Running as an independent and not accepting
any campaign contributions, I earned 967 votes and was the high vote getter in
three out of the twelve voting districts.
I did not promise one job or buy one vote. Instead, I laid out a detailed platform
centered on transparency and ethics reform.
Besides the current council members, I and George Panagiotou are the only two
individuals that showed a real interest to serve by taking the initiative to
run. Although, you can choose
anyone you like for the seat, it would be seem like the fair and democratic
thing to consider the most recent election.
A governing body should have system of
checks and balance. Having a different
political philosophy should not be a disqualifying factor to serve.
I
am a lifelong resident of Lodi. I am
graduate of Lodi High School. I attended
and graduated from William Paterson on a full academic scholarship.
I
would appreciate your consideration of me for the vacated council seat.
Sincerely,
Ryan Curioni
