“Productivity & Perfomance” v “Status & Credentials”
There is no doubt my opponent is running on his resume. His campaign material shouts it out. What he won’t address is why the Mayor and the Council majority are working so hard to get him elected? Hmmm? I have been walking all over the ward this last week and I am getting to know the mail carriers in many of our neighborhoods. We often joke that I could help deliver some of their mail!
Our postal carriers are delivering an 8.5 by 11 inch sheet for my opponents listing his credentials (many from 30 years ago) and I am hand-delivering my energy, passion, commitment and a love for my home town. I will deliver for you to council an independent analytical mind that asks the right questions.
Like my opponent, I do have a Masters Degree. Mine is in business with accounting and financing concentration from a “Blue Collar” school earned at night while I was working two jobs in the 90’s. His is from an Ivy League School earned in the 70’s.
My energy and passion will deliver to council the type of person you need that is willing to roll up his sleeves, get his hands dirty and tackle the tough issues with your input. My opponent appears more ready to use his pedigree to make decisions for you with the Mayor and the other handpicked members of council.
It is Your Voice and Your Ann Arbor.
