‘Don’t be fooled: Support Joe Morrissey’

Most people will agree that Richmond has been run by financial elites as long as Richmond has been Richmond. Some may remember the performing arts mess when Mayor L. Douglas Wilder had to publicly tell them that “I run this town and I don’t work for Jim Ukrop,” who now is chairman of candidate Jack Berry’s mayoral campaign.
They backed off, but came right back as soon as Mayor Dwight C. Jones came into office, dragging the city into a financial ditch at the expense of so many basic needs.
Joe Morrissey is the only candidate for mayor who will ensure equity to ordinary citizens and not just the privileged few. He has consistently spoken up for us when our own leaders refuse to open their mouths.
People will continue to attack him with horrific lies just as they have attacked me and all others who love justice.
Don’t be fooled: Support Joe Morrissey.
