"Heading to the Finish Line" and "What Makes Us Different"

(Note: UtahPolicy.com has invited Mike Winder and Kevin Fayles, two candidates for mayor of West Valley City to share their campaign experiences this year. To read earlier posts and biographies of the two candidates, see the Campaign Journal page.)

Mike Winder: So here we are:  The final Campaign Journal entry before Election Day. It's been a hectic past week, with getting additional signs out (or repairing those damaged by the wind), coordinating last minute efforts with volunteers, and reaching out to voters; but we're on the home stretch!  Here are a few of the activities of the past week.

Kevin Fayles: In this last blog before the election, I want to talk about what I feel makes me better suited to serve as West Valley City's mayor. This is not a disparagement of Mike Winder, because on most issues we pretty much agree with each other. At last week's debate, for example, two candidates were asked if they'd allow a Gay Pride parade in West Valley. The first said, "No" and sat down. The other also declined. Mike leaned over to me and said, "The ironic thing is you and I would allow it." He's right-we do agree on that issue.  We understand that as mayor one is the mayor of all residents.
