Recently my opponent painted me as an obstructionist, someone who almost always votes no, and that I am the only one who does so. Well, either my opponent is being deceitful or he just isn’t paying attention. Here are the actual figures:

Year	Yes	No	Split	% Split	% No
2015	39	3	6	14.29%	7.14%
2016	50	9	13	22.03%	15.25%
2017	105	12	20	17.09%	10.26%
2018	19	2	5	23.81%	9.52%
Total	213	26	44	18.41%	10.88%

My total “No” percentage is less than 11% and represents only just under half of the time the council vote was split. Each time I have voted no has been a principled stand for the Bedford taxpayer and almost all of those times I have given a lengthy, detailed account of why I was going to vote that way.

I have been transparent to the voters of Bedford, and have the records to show it.

By now many of you are seeing mail from my campaign. I have a record to stand on and am proud of the votes I have taken on behalf of Bedford citizens. With your help, I can keep representing you at City Hall.
