A runoff between Suzanne LaFrance and Dave Bronson gives us a very clear choice for mayor. Look around — if you like what you see, and want more of the same from City Hall, there’s Dave Bronson.
If you demand ethical, competent leadership, join me in supporting Suzanne LaFrance for mayor. If you want effective snow removal, a fully staffed police force, and an effective approach to homelessness, support LaFrance.
Mayor Bronson’s comments on election night show that he should not be trusted with another three-year term. He claimed that LaFrance is the “woke” candidate. He also suggested that the mayor can’t do much to improve snow removal because that would be “micromanaging.” Effective snow removal in a winter city, and supporting our local police, doesn’t make a mayor “woke” or a “micromanager.” It’s what effective leaders do, by assembling and supporting an effective management team.
We don’t need three more years of division, finger-pointing, distraction and blame. We need an effective leader who knows the importance of assembling a competent team. We need a mayor who works well with others. We need a mayor who will help pull this community back together. We need Suzanne LaFrance as our mayor.
