Vote for results;vote for Trump

When you get ready to vote on Nov. 5, think about these things:

When did food and gas prices go out of control? When did the Southern border look more like an open garage door? When did we get wars in Europe and the Middle East? The answer is during the Biden-Harris presidency.

Under Donald Trump you had more money, lower gas prices and no wars. If you elect him in 2024, those who rely on tips for the majority of their income will have no tax on tips. The border will be secured. Recall he negotiated peace treaties in the Middle East which allowed for peace in the region.

Vote based on policies, not identity.

Trump’s prevaricationsmake him unfit to serve

Donald Trump, a liar and prevaricator, just keeps ranting on and on.

Whether it’s the direction of a hurricane, the loss of an election, the state of a pandemic, or even a helicopter flight with someone that he never had, the man cannot utter a truthful statement to anybody. He almost never directly answers questions from the press and often goes off on some ridiculous topic like Hannibal Lecter or sharks in the Midwest. He confuses people when he speaks and when all else escapes him, he insults people like some child on a playground. He consistently engages in self-aggrandizement, claiming he is the greatest at everything. He claims to know more than American generals, the head of the Federal Reserve and even the head of the CDC.

So, America is this who you want to represent America to the rest of the world?

Reelect Carl Andurito Lafayette Council

As a 40-year resident of Lafayette, I urge voters to reelect Carl Anduri to the Lafayette City Council this November. Carl continues to demonstrate talents that make him an effective community advocate and problem solver. Not only is Carl intelligent and hard-working, but he is thoughtful, ethical and fiscally responsible.

I have witnessed Carl’s impressive and balanced leadership qualities while serving with him on Lafayette’s Environmental Task Force and observed his work on the City Council and as mayor. I am particularly impressed with Carl’s careful, responsible, inclusive approach to all problems, his excellent organizational skills, extensive background knowledge and clear and thoughtful communication skills. For decades, he has demonstrated a clear commitment to Lafayette and a forward-looking vision.

We are lucky that Carl Anduri has again agreed to serve Lafayette.
