LOL we must have posted this at the same exact time, because I went to view the published version of my ad post, and there were two. So I unpublished mine. I’ll just put my commentary here then!
There’s really not much to say about this ad, it stands on its merits…it’s polished, well-written, full of biographical information, and a great introduction to the candidate. I love the photo of Franky with her family on the slide.
Call me a sucker for feel good ads! Not to mention the prominent display of the phrase “professional city government.”
And Mimi? Jinx! You owe me a Coke!

Impressive. I won’t hold my breathe to see anything like that from Kazanjian, Rita, or any of the other incumbents for that matter…

Professional City Government, that would be a nice change

Great ad! Hope also that Frankie is doing the door to door thing for the older voters who might not be savvy to Youtube.

Actually -b, I think there is a Kazanjian video out there…

Or was it this one…

And here’s Rita’s ad:

Thanks for those, Link. Especially the first one.
I feel so badly for the people in the Acre who have to look at that building every day.
He’s letting that beautiful, historic building rot, so that its condition will deteriorate to the point that he can tear it down, just like he tore down that mill on MIddlesex Street.

Also agree, what a great ad! Can’t wait to see professionalism in the city council. All we need is to remove a few self centered clowns and progress can be made. New blood is needed. All this power seems to have gone to Kazanjian’s head. He is no longer affective, not sure if he ever was other than for his own personal benefit and more corrupt than ever.
And the Kaz videos, awesome. Glad I’m not the only one watching the acre rot thanks to the councilor.
