As most Americans I do not take lightly my right to vote nor my responsibility to vote. I have however been a part of the silent majority.
Part of those who do not vote and those who vote when they choose to vote.
I have participated in student government in high school, college and in medical school. I was Student Body President.
In 1996 I ran as a State legislative candidate for the Democrats in Connecticut.
August 20, 1996:
Kropp for State Rep
Dr. Elmer M Kropp (D) Assembly District #102
Lee Pond Treasurer
155 North Ivy Street #35
Branford CT 06405
I am well versed in federal and state regulations and law. I am a student of the law. I am a student of politics. It is time, and with the support of my family and friends I am placing my name on the ballot to represent the 4th Assembly District.
I am a resident of Yolo County and now a land owner of Lake County. I begin, as many, with my boots on the ground. My family and I are vested in the future of Clearlake.
I wish to bring to the Assembly a strong understanding of people, behavior, medicine and law.
I believe in independence and freedom to speak and chose. I should not be told “no.” I want people to be answered yes-do it.
In the Assembly it is my plan to write legislation that makes sense. I plan on voting non-sense off the record.
The 4th Assembly District needs a new fresh perspective. The 4h Assembly District does not need career politicians.
I am the individual you need and can count on to represent you!
God Bless America
Yours Sincerely,
Elmer Mark Kropp, MD
