[WardFive] Will you please vote with me...

Tomorrow, April 1^st, 2014, is election day in DC.  I am honored to be on the ballot this year to be your next US Shadow Representative.  But there is no doubt you face a challenging decision when electing the person that will lead our city.  Mayor Gray's results have paid off for thousands of DC residents.  Results that even his opponents can't dispute.  Here are some of them:   

 

·           Created more than 30,000 private sector jobs, reducing unemployment to the lowest rate since 2008 to 8.1%.

·          Delivered $187 million to create and preserve 10,000 affordable homes by 2020.

·         Created the most robust Pre-K program in the nation and under his watch our public schools have seen the largest test scores gains of any urban school district in the country.

·         Worked to expand health care for everyone in DC, as a result nearly everyone has health coverage in DC.

·         Stood up to Congress and prevented city shutting down during 16-day federal government shutdown. 

·         Has one of the most inclusive and diverse administration in the history of the city.

 

As I seek the office of US Shadow Representative, to fight for the long due US Congressional representation of our city, I am motivated and look forward to having the support of a champion for DC Statehood and DC Congressional voting rights. 

 

Don't let your judgment be impaired by irresponsible accusations that want to sway the election to benefit certain politicians.  Let's keep good governance in our city.  Mayor Gray is one of the most effective Mayor in our city's history, please vote with me for DC Mayor Vincent Gray.

 

Yours,

 

Franklin Garcia
