Dear Supporters:

Thank you for standing with me in my hope to become Paterson Council At Large this year. After careful consideration and serious talks with my family, friends, supporters, business owners and community organizations I have decided to step aside from the Council At Large Municipal Election as a candidate and unite the community by exiting the race effective inmediately.

I have decided to officially endorse the candidacy of Mr. Miguel Diaz, and all of those candidates that DOPOR decide are the most fit to fight for our community in this year's municipal election. I'm glad to inform you that I plan to run for the Office of 4th Ward Council in 2012.

I'd like to thank my wife Idalmy for her inconditional support during this difficult decision. I'd like to thank my friends, supporters and the several business owners who offered their full support. Without a question, the well-being of our community and the unity we need this year are greater than myself.

Thank you for your support and please remember we will be back in 2012 to seek the 4th Ward Council Seat where we have unfinished business to take care of and to fight for all of the people of the entire 4th Ward which desperately need active representation.

God bless the City of Paterson and God bless America!

WILKIN SANTANA
