Today is October 25th, and the election is just 10 days away — Tuesday, November 4th. It’s time to hit the pavement, hang door flyers, and have real conversations with the people of Dupont.

After announcing my write-in campaign, I took a step back to learn more about how our local government really works. During that time, I faced my own challenges — a landlord-tenant dispute that ended up in court. Through the process, I reached a fair compromise, but I also gained something far more valuable: a firsthand understanding of how our local and state systems treat everyday people.

I wasn’t sure where I’d be living or even if I’d still be in Dupont. But after finding potential new housing and being granted the proper time to undergo surgery and recover, I had a chance to slow down and learn. I studied landlord-tenant laws, the court system, and most importantly, how to stand up for your rights.

In America, every one of us has a voice. We can be heard. There are agencies out there to help — but many of them are now under threat because our government is drowning in debt and struggling to take care of its own citizens.

The world is changing fast. Our economy is under attack. AI is growing at an unprecedented rate, and massive data centers are popping up everywhere, consuming enormous amounts of energy. Soon, we may find ourselves fighting not just over jobs or housing, but over whether there’s enough energy to heat our homes.

Through all of this, our rights are being tested — every single day. Landlords, corporations, and even political insiders often use the courts and bureaucracy as weapons against people who simply don’t know better or don’t have the means to fight back. That’s not how it should be.

This is our moment — right here, right now — to stand up, speak out, and demand more for our community.

We are the people. We are the strength behind this town. And when we come together, united and determined, we are stronger than any politician or party.

Let’s start something real.
Let’s start something honest.
Let’s start something Dupont First.

Write in KEITH KALMANOWICZ for Mayor of Dupont, PA — and let’s build a grassroots movement that puts people before politics.
