Side note to all my fellow candidates running for office, from candidate for Mayor Jim Szwedo:
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
If it's about powerful interests providing large sums of money to protect their strangle-hold on our City…
I LOSE.
If it's about three men in a room figuring out their strategy to embarrass and intimidate a candidate…
I LOSE.
If it's about powerful political parties jockeying for position in our City…
I LOSE.
If it's about working to keep the City the same for the benefit of the same few people…
I LOSE.
If it's about unions flexing their political muscles…
I LOSE.
If it's about non-developers continuing to compromise our City's future…
I LOSE.
If it's about spending the most money…
I LOSE.
If it's about $100, $200, or $500 fundraisers…
I LOSE.
If it's about just leaving well enough alone…
I LOSE.
If it's about promising people jobs for contributing to the campaign…
I LOSE.
If it's about keeping six-figure salaries, pensions, and lifetime healthcare…
I LOSE.
But if it's about all our citizens and businesses in Niagara Falls…
WE ALL WIN
