Barringer

Dear Family, Friends and Supporters,

Editor's note: The following was wriiten by Adam Barringer, candidate for mayor:

The "Barringer for Mayor" campaign is in high gear. Thank you for your support and the many phone calls inquiring about the campaign and election.

First of all, we did win the primary election. What does this mean? The margin of victory was very close, only 15 votes. Now we move into the general election against the incumbent, which will be a tough race. Every vote counts!

The General Election is Nov. 3.

The commission that night voted 4-1 to negotiate with the Angler's on a revised lease.
