Mayor Sheldon A. Neely campaigns on jobs, taxes and community programs

Mayor Sheldon A. Neely urged listeners to vote for his reelection on Nov. 3 and framed his record around fiscal responsibility and service expansion. "Vote on November 3 to reelect Sheldon A Neely, Flint Mayor," a presenter said, and Neely used the address to tout completed and planned initiatives that he said have strengthened the city.

Neely highlighted a range of priorities if reelected: lowering property taxes within the next year, expanding summer jobs for young people, and reducing costs for water, homeowners and auto insurance. He said those priorities build on what he described as a series of improvements under his administration and repeated a theme of community unity: "Together, our brighter days are ahead of us." The mayor also announced local events and services intended to keep residents connected to city resources as the campaign continues.
