They thought the present mayor was their only option, although they had many issues with his actions or non-actions on a number of levels. I told many people about her, and once they looked, they were ready to vote for her. She has got to stretch her campaign all over the county, so voters know she is on the ballot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-33106455703993132282016-08-31T15:20:01.871-04:002016-08-31T15:20:01.871-04:00I wish she wouldn't pose in as many pictures w...I wish she wouldn't pose in as many pictures with her father.
