Is the Republican Party running a candidate in the election for supervisor of the Town of North Hempstead?
Even if I wanted to vote for this unidentified person I would first have to google their name because the GOP literature littering my mailbox like a summertime avalanche never mentions it. Does this mystery person and current office holder have no record to run on?
Jon Kaiman has both a name and a record of accomplishment that voters don’t need to Google; many are still enjoying the fruits of his five-term tenure.
He established a 311 call center, was an environmental warrior, created Project Independence to assist the elderly, and, served as an advisor to the governor after Hurricane Sandy, assessing its toll and working to protect New York’s citizens from future climate calamities.
But I submit that the opposition flyers alone should guide your choice. Have you ever made an important decision based on someone telling you why you shouldn’t do something and not why you should?
Would you believe their (spurious) claims? Would you take their (unsubstantiated) advice? I wouldn’t. Nor should you.
