Dear Editor: I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Shahira A-Malek for Downey City Council, district 2.

As a Christian doctor, Dr. Shahira embodies the Biblical values of charity and love. In addition to providing free medical care and medicine to the less fortunate in our community, she also helps struggling local families with finding jobs and provides guidance on government programs intended to provide food to the truly needy.

Dr. Shahira A-Malek is a woman of character and I believe she would be a valuable and effective member of the Downey City Council.
