BACKUP OF CHER BENTLEY’S STATEMENT

Cher Bentley

As a current board member, my goal is and will continue to be, bringing the Community together. Finding common ground to make our little town even smaller and more familiar is important to me. Over the last few years, I believe that I have had a hand in providing a platform for neighbors to meet one another, who may have not otherwise met. It is my belief that Community involvement is the most important thing in fighting crime and other issues within our Community, standing as one.

I believe I have been a good representative of our Community’s voice. I am approachable and trusted by Community members who, for whatever the reason may be, do not want to speak out themselves.

During my time on the Council, I have stepped in to undertake the duties of Secretary and assist with tending to the CNC Facebook page. Though I came in as an outsider, I believe I’m now a respected member of the Chatsworth Board.

I am grateful to have served as a representative to the Community members of Chatsworth and, with your vote, would be honored to continue that endeavor.

I have been a Chatsworth resident for nearly 7 years and love our small community, our horse properties, our businesses and our people.  Born and raised in the Midwest, I know the value of a tight-knit, small community where everyone looks out for one another. Given the recent rise in crime, transients and drug use in our area, I feel it is my duty to contribute wherever I can to keep our community the safe and wonderful place we have all come to know. I am a single mother to my 11-year old daughter, who has always attended Chatsworth public schools, and I know the importance of keeping our streets safe and beautiful for her future. I have managed businesses and people for many years and I have a great number of resources and even greater amounts of determination. Let me put my experience to work to better Chatsworth.
