FROM THE COMMITTEE TO CONTROL MOCO SPENDING

VOTE FOR ME - I'M A GAY JEW

Just like you - before every election I get a load of campaign mail, emails and social media posts telling me why I should vote for particular folks. Because I’ve worked so long in the non-partisan world and supported and donated to both Democrats and Republicans I get requests from all sides.

One guy running for County Executive as a Democrat sent a perplexing message, I’m a Gay Jew - …vote for me.

That’s no reason to get a vote – neither vote for nor against someone to lead your government because of their color, gender, religion, ethnicity, orientation, age, or a whole slew of other categories. Not even simply because of their Party.

NEITHER VOTE FOR NOR AGAINST SOMEONE FOR THAT REASON

Choose someone you agree with, someone you can see making good decisions on your behalf – and on behalf of other people. It’s trust, it’s confidence, and often you can’t quite put you hand on why you respect them but you can tell they’re the one to lead the government on your behalf.

• Will they keep taxes reasonable?
• Will they support schools that actually teach the students STEM, values and truth?
• Will they protect teachers, staff and students?
• Keep boys out of girls bathrooms?
• Keep boys out of girl’s sports?
• Will they respect ALL races and religions?
• Will they DEFUND or defend Police?
• Will they support democratic capitalism or communistic socialism?

The list goes on and on, but you get the picture. Think carefully, don’t choose single party government, don’t choose for trivial reasons, choose wisely and choose the best. Your future depends on it.  Our future depends on it.

…Oh, by the way, that guy didn’t make it.
