What I know is that I will be voting for Eric Genrich because I know him and I have worked with him. He’s a family man, down to earth, a kind and sweet spirit, and he cares about us all no matter what color, rich or poor, or political affiliation. He wants what’s best for the City of Green Bay and he has did everything he can to do just that.
I will be voting for Everett Mitchell and not just because he’s black, but because of the issues he stands for, he has a lot of experience in our communities,He has gotten various awards in community activism from a plethora of organizations, too many to count. He’s a Morehouse graduate, a frat brother and a theologian. He knows firsthand what a black man in this country has to put up with, and deal with on a daily. He knows what our kids need especially; since he has worked in the Juvenile system. He knows what is needed to correct some of the issues that we as black and brown, and low income people have to go through in this legal system.
