BURLINGTON, ON
The following statement was released this afternoon by the Campaign to Elect Mike Wallace for Mayor.
My team and I have learned that a telephone campaign is underway targeting Burlington voters concerning the upcoming municipal election. It is focused on Marianne Meed Ward, one of my fellow candidates for Mayor. I wish to assure the voters in Burlington that neither I nor any member of my team is involved in this quite negative campaign tactic.
The coming election is an important opportunity for the people of Burlington to choose the leader they want for our city. Negative campaign tactics, such as what is known as “push-polling” should not be used by any candidate nor their supporters. Each candidate has their own bona fides, platform, experience, and values to offer you. Each, quite different. The choice is yours to make. Do not let the negative tactics of some influence your decision.
Your turn Mr. Goldring! Mr. Goldring are you there? It’s safe to come out Mr. Goldring. Hmmmm.
Mr. Wallace, I also appreciate that as a candidate, you have spoken out both in your video post on your Facebook page and in your statement to the Gazette. It is my hope that other candidates will follow your lead..
Mr. Wallace, I for one appreciate that you sent this statement to the Burlington Gazette. The tactics being used should be condemned by all candidates running for election. All candidates should realize that they could be next.
