George,

In thinking about the upcoming convention, I have come to the conclusion that the City would be well-served by the Democrats nominating and subsequently the City electing, Kendra Hamilton.

She has been active in issues that matter to neighborhoods and has an understanding of how we can have a more open and responsive government. She definitely has my vote and I hope you will join me on Saturday and vote for Kendra Hamilton also.
