*By Jennifer Sandowsky Santa Monica*

I am writing to express my concern to you. I feel that Kevin McKeown is being unfairly attacked with negative campaigning efforts that support little validity. I attend all the city council meetings and I am actively involved as a caring person and resident of Santa Monica. McKeown deserves a fair chance at being re-elected. He was the only councilman to schedule a meeting with me regarding the homeless issue. He was the only one of the few I tried to contact that ever returns my e-mail. When I show up at neighborhood meetings or other city meetings, he is always present at the meetings.

He may be the only one that goes against the grain of the city politics that are prevalent, when it comes to big developers and clean money, etc. He may be the only one that is different from the rest in his views, but he is a councilman that not only comes from a place of great intelligence, he also operates with heart.

To frame him as the culprit is just unfair and wrong. Allow him to run with justice. He has given this city a great deal of time and energy, we owe him a fair shake.
