PATTY EIDAM
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR VILLAGE TRUSTEE
PLEASE PUNCH #6 ON THE BALLOT ON APRIL 7TH FOR PATTY EIDAM
STRONG RECORD OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, VOLUNTEERING, DEDICATION AND SERVICE PROUD AND HONORED TO HAVE THE ENDORSEMENTS OF THESE LANSING VOTERS I’ve known Patty for a long time. We both share this little void in our hearts, that after almost 23 years, I understand will never go away. We both lost a child way too soon in life. Now I understand that serving takes time and effort. I served proudly on the Lansing Police Pension Fund Board, and never minded helping out a friend or neighbor, or even doing a little bit beyond what was called for on my every day job. But the time and energy that Patty has invested in serving our community is above and beyond imaginable. Patty never talks about her service, so I really never thought about it much, or ever offered a thank you. Her resume is way too long for a one finger typist to list here, but I highly recommend that you allow Patty to continue her service to our community by electing her as a Trustee for the Village of Lansing.

I had the great opportunity to work with Patty in the VCO when she got elected as Village Clerk. As Building Commissioner I would get called out to work with FD or PD many times after midnight for one type of emergency or another. After pulling a car out of a building or finishing the board up and securing of burned structures I was often way too pumped up to go back to bed at 3 am so I would go to the office to start my day. To my surprise, many of those nights I would find Patty in her office working on a FOIA request or other important documents that needed to get completed. She poured her heart and soul into her work as Village Clerk. She made me feel guilty as the long hours finally exhausted me only to see her still in her office plugging away at the days’ work. I know she will make a GREAT Trustee for our Village!

I had the opportunity to work with Patty when she was a trustee and as the village clerk. Hard working, responsive to residents, understanding public trust and accountability for the responsibilities of a public servant, tough task master and professional in her approaches to solving problems. She has the energy and commitment to work hard to improve conditions in Lansing.
I have had the opportunity to work alongside Patty on a volunteer basis on several community events. Most recently on the Hoving benefit and I know that whatever it takes Patty is on board ! A couple years ago I actually saw her cleaning portable restrooms at The Autumn Fest because, “They really needed it”! Whatever project Patty is working on I can personally guarantee that she puts her heart and soul into it! Her love of Lansing runs deep for so many years! I am so proud to call her my friend and know that she will make a dedicated Trustee who will represent the residents of Lansing! Please vote on April 7th for this woman who has given so much back to our Community!

I’ve known Patty since she first became Lansing’s first lady police officer! She has served this town and made many improvements during her time as clerk. Patty and Bud are awesome business/community leaders. She never says NO to a challenge. The way the Tri-Motor project went through town was amazing. It was great learning tool for the children.
Denise Cox, Lansing resident
We are just one week away from election day. Once again, I cannot stress the need for the citizens of Lansing to use their voice. The best way to do so is to get out and cast your vote. I’m proud to support Patty in her campaign for Village Trustee. Patty is dedicated to this community, and anyone who knows her will gladly attest to this. I have personally worked with her on several community events and fundraisers, and her passion is clearly evident. If a better Lansing is what you seek, Patty is a candidate that I would recommend you support. Patty is not a follower by any means, and there is no doubt that she will work tirelessly to keep our community headed in the right direction!
