Black a community connector
I met Michael Black several years ago when we were both participating in Leadership Centre County. Since then, we have become good friends and I am proud to support him for State College mayor. When our LCC class needed a speaker for our graduation ceremony, we elected Michael for the job. The reason? He is a connector — someone who brings people together by reaching out and making everyone feel included. Michael was perfect for the role of lending a voice to the diverse group of people in our class.
These same traits make him a great candidate for State College mayor. Now, more than ever, we need a local leader who engages and brings the diverse voices of our community together. Michael Black is that leader. He is also a dedicated father, husband and business owner. Vote for Michael Black for State College mayor on Nov. 7.
