@xtinagorczynski posted these photos of Pam Holm's first mailer on Twitter this morning. Pam's got a lot of money to spend on her race - more than Democratic candidate, and term limited At-Large Council member, Ron Green. Pam is a Republican and a term-limited District G City Council member. The third candidate in the Controller's race is Republican MJ Khan, a term limited District F Council member. I think the watchdog on the front is clever. One would almost think it has something to do with BARC, which is in the news in Houston. It also ties into voters' public safety concerns. Use of the word "taxpayer" alerts Republicans that they need to wake up and pay attention to Pam.
Since it's hard to read, here is a recap of the information on the back of the mailer (granted, you can certainly see the word "Conservative" in large font - and you can click on the second photo below to make it larger):
- People are worried about their home values in these tough economic times
- Local government should tighten its belt
- Pam is tough: on Council, she challenged budgets, opposed wasteful spending and fought for transparency
- Qualifications: former school teacher, compliance officer for multi-million dollar investment firm
- Native Houstonian, married her high school sweetheart, married 39 years, has children and grandchildren
I edited out the address on the front of the mailer, which is why that part of it looks strange in this version. Note that it went to a household with strong Democratic voting history. I'm seeing lots of things in this that will appeal to Republicans and independents. What are your thoughts?
