Notice to the Residents of House District 20
It has truly been an honor to serve as your State Representative for House District 20. When I first ran, I had hoped to serve up to three terms and continue building on what I learned during my first term.
But life can change your priorities. Over the past year, my family has gone through some difficult times. My wife is dealing with serious health issues, and the death of my brother, Jim, just a few short weeks ago have made it clear to me where I need to spend my time.
Serving you in this role takes a full commitment. While I do have the time to continue, I’ve decided that my time is better spent helping my wife through her illness. She comes first, and with the uncertainty ahead, I don’t feel it would be fair to her, or to you, to try and do both.
Because of that, I will not be running for re-election.
My current term expires when your new representative is sworn in next January. I want you to know I’m not stepping away from the job. I will continue to serve you and carry out my responsibilities to the best of my ability for the rest of my term.
Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me. It’s been a privilege to represent the people of House District 20, and I truly appreciate your support.
Sincerely,
Mike Schmid
