Read the passage.

A New Mayor for Brookside

Citizens of Brookside have many choices to make in the upcoming election. However, no ballot measure is more important than whom we select as our next mayor.
Although we have two qualified candidates to vote for, we believe that Rochelle Jackson has proven herself to be a stronger candidate than Suzette Muñez. During her eight years as a city council member, Ms. Jackson fought for tax cuts that resulted in an 18% growth in local business. She also managed the development of our new regional airport and sponsored three new after school programs for Brookside’s youth. The new laws proposed by Ms. Jackson have brought about a 31% drop in crime over the last five years.
While Ms. Muñez has an impressive track record as a large business owner, we feel that she lacks the public service experience needed to serve as mayor of Brookside. We fear her decisions would better serve big business and not the needs of our citizens and local businesses.


We at the Brookside Gazette strongly urge you to elect Rochelle Jackson as the next mayor of Brookside.
