South of Shaw voice says ‘yes’ to Brand for mayor of Fresno
Much has been made of the fact that we have two qualified candidates running for the office as mayor of Fresno. Some even say there seems to be a line designating who you will vote for based on whether you live north or south of Shaw Avenue.
I have not come to my decision based on where I live in Fresno (even though I live south of Shaw), but rather on the basis of the views (and previous votes) of the two candidates running for mayor. Since I am a political junkie, I have studied the votes of the two candidates for many years and I am putting my vote behind Lee Brand.
He will take the city in the right direction over the next four years and I am pleased to vote for him. I urge a vote for Lee Brand on Nov. 8!
