Dayne,
I have been trying to find someone to support in the upcoming election, & the answer was right around the corner, literally! I live on Oak St. which is right around the corner from your headquarters. I noticed your website & did some research. Flint NEEDS someone our age who is educated and professional to take the wheel. I'm a Flint native, I graduated from Carman-Ainsworth in '90, graduated from Wilberforce, University & lived in Dayton for 5 years before coming back in 2000. I now work for Mott C.C as a Job Developer . I see first hand the struggles we face with workforce development and economic growth.

When I was in Dayton they were going through many of the same problem we are now. GM was pulling out & the downtown area was losing its luster. They improved through diversifying commerce and establishing a "reason" to go downtown, all under the leadership of a "younger" mayor. Many so-called leaders in Flint have not had or taken the opportunity to live outside the box, so they can’t understand what needs to be done to compete.

We as a city don't have any and we need someone like yourself who can embrace new ideas and industry and be able to encourage business to come back with a vision and a winning personality. I will be stopping by to get a couple of yard signs since my place is very visible from 5th on the way into the city and from court on the way out. Thank you for running & good luck!

PS
You can't be a bad guy w/ Theory on your friends list & De La & the Roots in the ride!!! lol
