I support the re-election of Don Williamson as Flint mayor. Here's why I have endorsed him.

Flint is at an economic crossroads, and now is not the time to change seasoned Williamson leadership for the unknown.

Flint is still recovering from the economic disaster of a state receivership.
Michigan is experiencing economic hardship with billion-dollar deficits that must cause a reduction in Flint revenue.

Now is not the time to change Williamson's economic leadership.
Flint citizens give credit to the incumbent when things are good and blame the incumbent when things are bad.

Flint citizens look at our city as being on the doorstep of economic revival. That's good, and credit goes to Williamson.

Flint citizens feel safer, police are on the road and our jail is open. That's good, and credit goes to Williamson.

Flint citizens look at our neighborhoods and they are cleaner with many abandoned houses torn down. That's good, and credit goes to Williamson.

Flint citizens see neighborhoods with new housing, a downtown with new buildings, our universities expanding and a community that's coming together to get the job done. That's good, and credit is given to Williamson.

We never want a return to the economic disaster that preceded him. We have that leadership in Williamson, and he deserves re-election.
