The candidate for assessor backed by big bucks from the local builders and developers got trounced. I wonder if the same will happen to one of the two "big spenders" in the Council race.Ron Washington is a shoo in but I think Bratcher is vulnerable.

I welcome the support of all the citizens who believe it's time to have someone who understands the suffering of property owners and is poised and prepared to make a positive difference in the office of assessor. I welcome the support. Call my campaign office anytime 615-900-0829.
