Mike Hogan is the Only True Fiscal Conservative in this Race!

[Paul McCormick]

The records are clear. There is one candidate who stands out as the true fiscal conservative in this mayoral race. Mike Hogan’s experience and proven record show his capability to shine as our conservative leader. Our city will be comforted in knowing that this man will lead our city by cutting excess costs and helping our small businesses grow. The other candidate is simply a string of words and talk with an untested and untrustworthy conservative balance.

Mike Hogan is the REAL THING.  Many of us have watched him for years and know he is a man that says what he means and means what he says.  He will stand with us and will help get the city out of the Red.

We just can't go on spending.  Vote for Mike!!

Warren Lee is a stronger conservative in my book. I can't trust someone who gets endorsed by the Unions and claims to be a conservative. NO way No how

I attended the forum last night and was impressed by the number of people attending.  I know some of the candidates brought out their supporters by the car load – but you could see electricity in the crowd and that has been missing from Jacksonville for a long time. I have never been really involved in politics at this level, even though I have never missed an opportunity to vote since I registered some 40 years ago. 

 

When I looked at Rick Mullaney and his supporters, I saw glitter and glamour – most were very unfriendly and standoffish (if that is a word).  The Mullaney supporters resonated money and power.  This to me is a turn off.  I don’t believe someone in his financial position has the background to understand what it means to live pay check to pay check or to struggle to make ends meet. We already have a Mayor from that background and I see where that has gotten us.  I believe decisions are made because Mayor Peyton cannot relate to those who may struggle with a few dollars more taken out of their paycheck or fees that come in monthly or quarterly.  I feel Rick would make a better Attorney General than a Mayor. Rick reminds me too much of someone we already have in a powerful leadership role and listening to him also reminded me too much of the debates we had just before the Presidential election.

 

Warren Lee would make a great comedian, but I am not sure he would make a great mayor.  He has a good heart but without the appropriate experience, we will have four more years of the right hand trying to figure out what the left is doing. 

 

Mike Hogan spoke from his heart.  I believe he can relate to those who have and continue to struggle and he knows how to make a tough decision, when necessary.  I have attended a couple of his events and everyone appears warm and friendly and Mike is approachable.  He listens when you speak and he comes from a good family.  His experience as a Councilman, a Legislator, and as
