Pearce has my District 6 vote

My choice for councilman for District 6 is Jeremy Pearce. He was brought up with good Christian values and has a great vision for what he wants to accomplish in the city of Fresno – make our lives much safer and make this a pleasant place to raise our families.

He has a good family background, going all the way back to his grandparents, who are very supportive of what he wants to accomplish in his life.

I do not think we should allow a previous councilman, Garry Bredefield, to recycle back into our government system when he didn’t perform all that great the first time. He toots his own horn that he was instrumental in bringing the stadium to Fresno.

That stadium has cost us (the taxpayers) a big bundle of lost revenue for many years. I truthfully don’t know what the financial situation is now, but I do know that it didn’t start showing a noticeable improvement for the city until Lee Brand became a councilman.

We need a councilman with a new vision and fresh new ideas for our city, not a rerun.

Irene Girton, Fresno
