Attention Candidates for City Office
I'm working on a profile piece for the candidates running for city council and I have been trying to you. Some of you are playing hard to get.
Whoever is advising you of that is giving you bad advice. You want your message out to voters, so make yourself accessible, nobody wants to elect someone who is too busy to talk to them. They want someone they can talk to and learn about.
Seeing how pitiful voter turnout is in this town, you know every vote counts. So return my calls so that the people can get to know you. Its really the only free way you will have to get your message out considering the local media won't give much coverage, no in-depth coverage, and you'll have to pay for commercials.
I already ran one piece on Manny Hinojosa. Jorge Artalejo has run for several offices so you probably already have a sense of the guy, but there are a couple others out there that are ready to run and I haven't heard from.
Now is the time people, the questions are about issues so you should be able to answer them, they aren't hard.
