I am writing this letter to highly recommend Don Martinez for the District 423 School Board. Our family has developed a close friendship with the Martinez family over the past few years, and it has become very apparent that Don is a smart businessman, kind person and loving father. Nothing is more important to Don than his two children, and serving on the School Board is a chance to positively impact their lives by improving the quality of their education.

Don is uniquely qualified to serve District 423 due to his outgoing personality, positive attitude and extensive business experience (Don is currently the president of CenBank). He has previously served on the School Board and his strong financial background will help him make sound decisions that will improve our school district without wasting hard-earned taxpayer dollars.

Don is very plugged in to the current issues specific to District 423 and will bring a definite sense of energy and passion to the job. He is sensible, a logical thinker and possesses the people skills that will make him a pleasure to work with for the rest of the School Board members. I am certain that Don Martinez will be a great asset to District 423. Voting for Don is undoubtedly a smart and safe choice that will bring great benefits and no regrets.
