our candidate

Welcome to my page where you can find the reason why am I running for the Elyria City Council in the 6^th Ward.

For years I have seen throughout different states, counties and cities different people with different cultures; but with all that, I have seen the same problem that each and every one of them had faced in politics which can make cities, counties and states worse if we are not careful. After what happened within last 5 years, I decided to bring balance and changes for the best, especially to bring the City of Elyria to the Top, and my starting point is being a City Council Member for the 6^th Ward in Elyria, OH. I thank you for your visit and support with your vote in having me to accomplish this mission, purpose and calling.

ABOUT OUR CANDIDATE

Well, I was born in Santo Domingo, Dom. Rep. I was 10 years old when I became a tourist for the United States of America. Due to my good grades in school, my father used to give me travels to San Juan, Puerto Rico. I used to go there few times a year for one or two months according to school's vacations. Even though I felt in love with this nation the first time I visit its embassy in Santo Domingo, never got the opportunity to visit the main land, the United States of America. In time, I became a permanent resident in Puerto Rico where I met my wife a year later and couple of years later we had our first born child, now a grown up man. I enlisted to the USAR from which I got my honorable discharge; also, I've worked in different trades besides the army reserve such as sales man, security guard, newspaper el Mundo and others. Now, it wasn't until the chirstmas of 1989, after I finished all my trainings in the army reserve, that I visited at last the main land as a civilian. I never forget the experience I had when I stood up in front of the twin towers. In 1990, I moved to Patterson, NJ. where we had our twins, boy & girl, now all grown up man and woman. I feel I am a blessed man! I remember my childhood as if I were in paradise, it was like having it all, happiness! But all that changed when I grew up. I started to see that life is complicated for I say that my job in life is not to complicate it more, go figure! I believe that's exactly how our forfathers felt when they arrived here the main land; and in time, they all saw how it was turning the same as the land they departed from. And as they decided to create a nation to be great not for its power, but for its blessings, they stablished a constitution for the People to be able to keep such blessings even to the end of times. My friends, we have that constitution: "WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America. I hope that after you're finished reading my page, you become our friend too; and also, unite with us in our mission and support our purpose by registering and contributing to our call. Remember, our nation is great, and I have a lot to be thankfull and greatfull for our nation. I have been a republican by heart, but it wasn't until I became a US Citizen that I realized how much I have been blessed by the United States of America; and I feel that now she, the United States of America, needs me. So, now I understand why I had to go through what I had to go through in life; and I believe that all my life experiences: happiness first, complications after, different job trades, some college degree, diplomas here and there, certificates here and there, unjustices of some fanatics in all levels, and the worse of all... the Capitol riots on Jan. 6th, 2021, has a lot to do with what I'm trying to do with my 6th Ward City Council candidature in Elyria, OH; which by the way, is possible only with your vote. Did you know that in this date, 01/06, is the Three Kings Day holyday in Santo Domingo, Dom. Rep. Unfortunately, I have to remember it now as a day of Terror in my nation of love, the United States of America, the Great Nation of all where NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! So, here I am People... complicating my life for something greater than myself, for the United States of America and all the people in it without any discrimination on race, language, color and religion.

I need your vote for our 2021 election, so if you live in Lorain County, Ohio, especially in Elyria, OH, VOTE FOR MARCIO TOLENTINO, 6TH WARD CITY COUNCIL. Maybe you won't see my name at the Top, some day I hope you do, but scroll down the bollot and select my name. I promise you, you won't regret it! Thanks for voting.
