ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES. Support Calves for supervisor
EXPERT HELP.
To the editor,
I am writing in support of Ellen Calves for Bedford town super-

visor. In my interactions with Ellen, I have found that she has all
the qualities that one should look for in a leader. She is principled
in her beliefs but open to new ideas and di erent approaches.
Her legal background has given her the ability to take a measured
approach to things and look at policy objectively and critically,
even when she might agree or disagree with them. Her focus is
on trying to make Bedford better for all its residents and is not
afraid to take on challenging subjects and make people uncomfort-
able if that is what is needed. Her commitment to the Bedford
Police Reform Task Force and support for diversity initiatives in
the community show her ability to bring all parties to the table to
build consensus.

On a personal note, as a Black man living in this community, I
came to Bedford Hills two years ago with my wife looking to raise
our sons in an environment that recognized and celebrated dif-
ferences, and most importantly, was open to growth in this area.
Upon moving into our new home, Ellen was one of the rst people
to welcome us. Since then, she has continuously asked for our
perspective, looking to grow as a resident and community leader.
Ellen didn’t need to reach out or connect with my family and me
at the time. She wasn’t running for anything, and I appreciate that
level of genuine care. Please join me and vote for Ellen for Bedford
town supervisor.
