Greetings:
I'm pleased to provide you with another segment of the Greater Baltimore Committee's "
In Their Words"
series focusing on two major races in Baltimore City -- City Council President and Mayor.
The primary election is less than a week away. Candidates are making their final push through campaign mailings and television and radio advertising.
The Greater Baltimore Committee does not endorse or financially support candidates; however, we have focused on sharing information to educate Baltimore voters about the candidates' policy positions. This year’s election is considered by many to be a transformational election.
This morning, the GBC and WBAL NewsRadio 1090 AM/101.5 FM co-hosted a debate among the leading Democratic candidates for Mayor. The candidates were asked a series of questions and provided an opportunity to give a 90-second closing statement discussing their candidacy for Mayor.
In previous weeks we have provided you with the chance to compare and contrast the positions of the Mayor candidates by examining their written answers to
major policy priorities
identified by the GBC. Today, we thought it would be better to let you "hear the candidates" by showing you the closing statements of the candidates during this morning's debate.
We hope you will find this "In Their Words" installment to be informative and interesting.
Full questionnaire responses
and other important details regarding the election can be found on the special
Baltimore City Election
section of our website (
gbc.org
). Next Tuesday, June 2nd, is the deadline to have your election ballot postmarked to be counted in this important election. We urge you to learn about the candidates and to vote. Elections are not a spectator sport!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at
donaldf@gbc.org.
Sincerely,
