Bloomberg seizes more mayoral endorsements

[left-of-center2012]

The former mayor of Flint, Mich., who took over the city during a water contamination crisis that garnered national attention, endorsed Mike Bloomberg's bid for president. Karen Weaver was among more than two dozen current and former mayors across the country to announce their support for the former New York mayor this week, as he hits the trail in California, Michigan and Pennsylvania — all central to his strategy of dominating Super Tuesday states.

Weaver cited Bloomberg's record on infrastructure.
“Our aging infrastructure matters and it is critical that it’s addressed now,” she said in a prepared statement provided by the Bloomberg campaign. “As a former mayor, Mike Bloomberg understands the need for our cities to have safe water that residents can trust and clean air they can breath.”

Other new mayoral supporters include Ethan Berkowitz of Anchorage, Alaska; Luke Feeney of Chillicothe, Ohio; and Kathy Sheehan of Albany, N.Y.

Securing the backing of mayors past and present has been integral to Bloomberg’s campaign. He has relied on a racially diverse group of mayors to stump for him as he crisscrosses the country, from an introduction in Fresno, Calif.,Monday by former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to a rally planned for Tuesday evening with former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.

1. I wonder why Bloomberg is not getting more attention.

I am open minded about several candidates but I find myself leaning toward the message from Michael Bloomberg. Certainly others are qualified but I think he had the fortitude to fight for us and get rid of the horrible history these past few years have given us.

I'd like to hear from those who agree or oppose my thoughts.
