Dear Friends,

It has been my sincere honor to serve as Mayor of Farmington Hills. Since my first election to City Council in 1995, my goal has been to build on the foundation of the great civic leaders who came before me and to continue to keep Farmington Hills the greatest city in the state.

Whether it was to establish our economic master plan, prevent oil drilling under our neighborhoods, protect our public right-of-ways, secure our proper share of state-shared revenues or preserve our city's individuality through local control, I have been committed to help Farmington Hills maintain its unique character and economic vitality well into this new century. But this fight is not easy and it requires constant vigilance.

So, while my time as Mayor is soon ending, I feel my work on behalf of the Farmington Community is not yet done. After much thought, I have decided to seek election to the State Legislature in order to champion those very ideas that I have been advocating from City Hall.

As most of you are aware, my friend and mentor, Representative Aldo Vagnozzi, is term-limited and will be unable to seek reelection. It is my hope that you will join him in supporting me for election to the State House in 2008.

I am grateful for your help over this twelve-year journey. Your support and friendship have been a true source of strength. I hope I can count on you again and I look forward to facing this new challenge ahead with you by my side.

Fondly,

Vicki Barnett
