The Walling for Mayor Team would like to thank all of the volunteers who came out to help with the Memorial Park playground project this Saturday. It was encouraging to see so many people from Flint and the surrounding area taking an interest in the community. One of Dayne's priorities is in furthering projects like this in order to improve our communities.
Despite the rain, the Walling for Mayor team will be out going door to door in Flint's 6th ward (37th precinct) today. Walking shifts start at 1pm. Come by the Walling for Mayor office to sign up and join the team.

Dayne and the Walling for Mayor team will be at the Brown Sugar Cafe Thursday, May 21 for a fundraiser hosted by Brian Willingham, author of Soul of a Black Cop. There is a $20 suggested donation. Bring your thoughts on Flint's future and questions for Dayne about how he will bring change to Flint.
A special thanks goes out to the folks on Miller Rd. who made their own sign to show their support for Dayne.

Both Dayne Walling and Brenda Clack were guests on this week's Newsmaker program. The mayoral candidates sat down with ABC 12's Cathy Shafran to discuss their views on Flint's future.A technical glitch resulted in some ballots in Precinct 25 on Flint's eastside not being tallied on election night. A recount in the precinct resulted in Dayne picking up over 200 votes. He increased his percentage in the primary to over 45%.
Today was an early start for many students, alumni, and supporters of Flint Central. WJRT spotlighted Central during its early morning broadcast in conjunction with Central's Spirit Day. This year's Spirit Day has a serious side in addition to its usual fun activities. This year we are raising money for the food bank. Every dollar results in 9 lbs of food. We want to raise 1,000 pounds for every year of the school--that is 86 years, 1923 to 2009. This means we need $100 for every Flint Central class since the school opened in 1923.
The yard signs of the two winning candidates in the mayoral primary may stay up through the August general election, so keep your Walling for Mayor signs up. Show your support for change in Flint. If you need a yard sign, please contact the Walling for Mayor office at 810-233-9190 or email us at votewalling@gmail.com.
Thank You.
Polls have just closed in Flint and I wanted to thank everyone for all their efforts during this primary election. We couldn't have accomplished as much as we did without the help of a lot of people.
Please re-visit this page as we will be making more posts as results come in.
Clearly, our Working for Change campaign connected with people all over the city. I heard from residents time and time again that they are ready and willing to work together to change Flint. Working together for change we can bring new 21st century jobs to Flint, improve all neighborhoods, and ensure that we have great schools for all students from kindergarten through college graduation.
Sincerely,
After knocking on doors throughout the city, Dayne finished his final full day of campaigning before voters head to the polls with a strong showing at tonight's Mayoral forum on blight and crime at Asbury Methodist Church.
At the forum, Dayne outlined his bold plan of change for Flint. He reemphasized his commitment to working residents to create comprehensive neighborhood plans that would be integrated into a citywide strategic plan. He also spoke about taking better care of all neighborhoods by focusing on three main objectives:
Neighborhood Action: Organizing action plans to focus existing city workers into teams accountable for improving our community through collaboration and joint planning
Safe Streets: Opening a police mini-station in every ward for community police patrols and decreasing crime in neighborhoods and around schools, parks, hospitals, and businesses
Learn Here, Live Here: Assisting college graduates with buying homes in Flint to strengthen our neighborhoods and retaining their expertise to help attract 21st century enterprises
Dayne also spoke about the importance of public safety and his belief that every resident deserves to be secure in their homes and neighborhoods. His Safe Streets plan includes these key components:
Open Police Mini-Stations in Every Ward: Create an accessible place in each of the city’s 9 Wards where citizens can file complaints, receive updates, and be trained in public safety and prevention.
Reduce Gun Violence: Enact a comprehensive gun-violence strategy that reaches into all parts of the city by investigating firearm offenses and gun trafficking with federal authorities and by coordinating with the County on expanding jail space.
Enforce All Laws and Ordinances: Improve response to all criminal acts and code violations in order to protect private property and enforce neighborhood standards by strengthening coordination between the police department and other city agencies as well as the mini-station personnel.
If you use Facebook or Twitter, you can help Get Out the Vote for Dayne. Simply, cut and paste the following and make it your status:Polls in Flint will open in a little more than 20 hours and our Get Out The Vote program is in high gear. We had a great group of volunteer get out this morning to start canvassing across the city. More volunteers will be coming in throughout the day to remind folks across the city to vote tomorrow.
