Cara Jennings was quoted as saying: "Voters seem to agree with her support for immigrant services in the city..." NO THEY DON'T. Lindsey never used or played up that one enough to even make it an issue. The average voter has no clue.

Cara had a great campaign and tons of workers and the Green Party thrown in. She helped Mulvehill behind the scenes. She spent $5.04 for each vote. Mary Lindsey spent the most or $7.70 per vote according to the last T-Report.

Everyone had an equal playing field as far as exposure. It had nothing to do with whether someone lived here 15 months or 10 years. It had everything to do with connecting with that voter and Cara did that. It took money and exposure to the whole city and like-ability.

All the losers today should be reflecting on what they should have done differently and learn. "Should ofs" are very important.
