I am writing to express my dislike and concern regarding the recent election. Some of the campaign material that circulated in this election contained misleading, hurtful and incorrect allegations. Campaigns that run on misleading information and not on fact are dangerous.
I know it’s the responsibility of the voter to discern between the various candidates. Even if all the candidates are making sensible statements, it’s difficult to decide upon whom to choose. However, an intentionally deceitful campaign only makes it that much more difficult for voters to choose.
The residents of Signal Hill deserve the best. It’s the voters’ responsibility to choose the best representatives for their city. Last Tuesday, the voters were able to see past the smoke and mirrors and made the best choices for our City.
