Dayne Walling had a decisive win in tonight's televised debate. Walling clearly outlined his vision of building a new coalition that will work together to change Flint.

"We can't go down the same old road and think we are going to end up at a different destination," said Walling. "Flint is ready for change."

When asked by a viewer by why he should stay in Flint when his neighborhood has problems with crime and blight, Walling answered quickly, "Don't move - improve! Be a part of our new coalition that represents the diversity and strength of this city: Black, White and Hispanic, young and old and in between, north end, south side, and everywhere else. A coalition that understands that the differences between us as people are small when compared to what we have in common. A coalition that will work together to change Flint."

Walling continued, "I hear it from people all over this city. They are tired of the old ways of Flint's failed leadership and they are ready for fresh ideas. They are tired of being divided in order to be kept down and they are ready to come together. They are tired of the lack of opportunity and they are ready for a better future.

We can bring 21st century jobs to Flint, strengthen every neighborhood, and ensure every student goes to a great school."
