Editor:

I am writing in support of Patrick Keenan-Devlin’s candidacy for State Representative (18th). I have known Patrick since he arrived on the Northwestern campus in 2002. He joined the Northwestern’s Sheil Center and served as a Sunday school teacher for my daughter’s class. Her class was a large one and the kids were spirited, to say the least. But they loved Patrick and he was devoted to them. He presented religious history and moral issues in a way that engaged them. 

Over the years I have had a number of interactions with Patrick. With each one, my respect for him has grown. Patrick is smart, thoughtful and extremely effective in working with people. He is devoted to improving the lives of others, and is exactly the type of person we need to support our community in Springfield. He has my unqualified support.

Sincerely,

Alice M. Tybout
