Its the NAME RECOGNITION thing...

Name recognition is vital in any election.

Incumbents are in the public realm with their names and faces before us, whether for good reasons or bad. The imprint it leaves follows them to the poll.
Whether the voter knows the facts about the incumbents voting record or not, they will recognize the familiar tone and sound of the name. This administration has used public dollars to promote their name and face recognition. Just recently there was a flyer for a northend event and my opponent was featured on the front cover. I believe this is wrong. (But no worries here.)

Why am I not worried?

This is my hometown.
My name and face has also been in the public realm of our City's government for 9 years at public meetings and 44 years in this City as an active volunteer and business woman in the community.

I am counting on the ‘word of mouth factor' to win this election and represent you on the dais.

It is your recommendation to other neighbors and voters that will speak louder then any glossy flier delivered to your mailbox.

I am asking that you... please be my voice.
Please share the need for change within our City Hall walls with your neighbors.

We must start to dialogue amongst ourselves for change to occur.
