City Council Campaign Promises
Thursday, January 7th, 2010
I like a good city council election. Problem is getting one. So many local elections are unopposed.
Since there are so few actual races city council candidates find no need to state what they stand for.
Then there is Trenton City Council candidate Daryl Mikell Brooks …
My name is Daryl Mikell Brooks and I’m running for City Council at Large. I’m a young man who believes in participatory democracy and equitably representative government. The Trenton City Council election in 2010 is both a job opening and a job review.
My campaign mission is to help establish a City wide Community Coalition that helps foster a greater sense of community by organizing a critical mass of residents committed to civic participation, government accountability, community responsibility and good neighborliness. I want Trenton to work together and will facilitate greater cooperation based on our common interests. We all share a human experience so we can identify common ground.
I envision a proud, cooperative, healthy, clean, safe, vibrant, and peacefully diverse city –a multi-cultural, inter-generational and mixed income community. I envision an organized and effective City Wide Community Coalition that works together to successfully: (1) overcome the foreclosure crisis, (2) reverse economic disinvestment and (3) foster opportunities for: (a) viable youth development, (b) family stability, and (c) educational and economic advancement for all. That is my campaign platform, encapsulated.
It does not matter if I agree or disagree with Mr. Brooks platform. I don’t live in Trenton. What impresses me is the fact Mr. Brooks is willing to state what he believes is best for Trenton. Very few city council candidates do that. They should.
