From
the Desk of Representative Michael
Paymar
February
22, 2001
Please
join me and other DFL elected officials, party leaders and
friends to help elect Bob Long the next Mayor of St Paul.
This is the year to put a leader in the mayor's office who
represents our progressive values and who will work for
our neighborhoods as well as downtown interests.
Bob
is an experienced leader who listens, an accomplished attorney
with expertise in housing and economic development issues,
and a successful small businessperson with an entrepreneurial
spirit. Bob is someone who values innovation and "gets
things done for St. Paul." Those of you who know Bob
can see that he's ready to become our Mayor. He brings boundless
energy and a long list of accomplishments to the table.
For those of you who don't know Bob, I'm sure you will like
what you see in his biography
and record.
üBob has a proven track
record of being a leader on progressive issues. Bob's
commitment to valuing our city's rich diversity is evident
from the fact that he has built the most geographically
and racially diverse campaign of any of the candidates.
He enjoys broad-based support from the many different
communities that make up St. Paul.
üBob is fiscally moderate
and will ensure our excellent quality of life. Bob
has always been a wise steward of the city budget and
of taxpayer's dollars. I also know that he will invest
in our infrastructure and provide efficient services to
keep St. Paul moving forward.
üBob has the most experience
of any candidate in city issues. Bob has over 14 years
of experience on city issues, including a year with former
Mayor George Latimer and 6 productive years on the City
Council from Ward 3. He also has over 7 years experience
as a lawyer representing municipalities in housing, economic
development and other city issues.
Not
only is Bob knowledgeable about city issues, he has the
character and vision to keep St. Paul a great city of
families and neighborhoods. Bob's ability to connect
with people and build consensus is unsurpassed by the other
candidates. These strengths and our hard work will ensure
Bob's victory at the DFL convention, in the September Primary
and on through the November election.
Together
with Bob we can advance an agenda that includes healthy
families, safe and livable neighborhoods, new jobs and business
growth, affordable homes, respect and appreciation for our
City's diversity and a fiscally responsible city government.
Sincerely,
Michael
Paymar
