Dear Neighbors!
As you all know the campaign for the three Salisbury City Council seats for District Two has begun. We need to elect people who will respect our rights as voters. These people will be in charge of introducing (or failing to introduce) legislation that will affect us, the residents of Salisbury, for many years to come!
As much as we are bothered by the problems in this city we often do not act. Elections like this affect every taxpayer, every homeowner in the city and even so only about 20% of residents usually vote!
Let's be proactive! Let's go to the forums, ask the candidates some tough questions, including the one about who is financing their campaigns. Let's elect those who will work for us!
Here are the candidates, listed in alphabetical order:
Muir Boda
Terry Cohen
Joel Dixon
Orville Dryden
Bruce Ford
Laura Mitchell
Timothy Spies
Michael Tylor
