Mayors Race

(Community Matters) My good friend Mark Nathan wrote me to say neither he nor Lee have had anything to do with the draft Lee movement. I know and like both Mark & Lee and trust their word, so apologize for saying otherwise.

I want to clarify. I consider councilmember Lee Leffingwell a friend, hold him in much regard. He’s an outstanding council member. My support for another candidate is in no way opposition to Lee.

I am supporting Brewster McCracken for mayor because he is a tireless worker with much vision and ambition. He’s got the energy to work even longer hours than most men of his even relatively young age, and he connects with voters in the progressive, business, youth, minority, LGBT and suburban communities. We don’t always agree on all issues, but he explains his thoughts and his decision process always sounds fair. We especially need a hands on mayor as well as a visionary at this challenging time. For this and many other reasons, Brewster is the right man in the right place. Posted from my blackberry
