As the election season continues, we want to address some recent developments that have surfaced in the campaign landscape. Unfortunately, there have been instances of mudslinging, banter, and the spread of misinformation that are detracting from the constructive discourse we expect in our community.

​

Examples of these tactics seems to be intended to discredit rather than present a clear vision for the future. These efforts are designed to distract voters from the real issues at hand and disrupt a fair and open election process. While differences of opinion are natural and healthy in any democratic setting, it's critical to maintain a standard of professionalism and honesty. When campaigns resort to disparaging others instead of focusing on their platforms and qualifications, it undermines the voters’ ability to make informed decisions based on facts.

​

We encourage everyone to rise above these negative tactics and instead engage in dialogue that highlights strengths, solutions, and shared values. The success of a campaign should be built on the merits of what each candidate can offer, rather than on attempts to diminish the reputation of others.

​

Let’s ensure this election remains focused on genuine issues that affect our community, and demonstrate that we are capable of running campaigns that reflect integrity, respect, and a commitment to positive change.
