  2. Two Hot Mayoral Races — by Nathan Allen

    Oakland County has two exciting mayoral races:
    Brian Kelly is running for Mayor of Pontiac and Councilman Fred Collins is running for Mayor of Berkley.
    When the Democrats saw how well Fred was doing, they threw an old school teacher and longtime Democrat activist into the fray. She has made the race more exciting than Fred had anticipated. Fred remains the frontrunner but he will need more support than he had originally planned. Please visit his website and find out how you can contribute to his campaign.

    Brian Kelly has been walking the city in an effort to talk to every likely voter. Brian is fighting to stay alive through the Primary Election which is being held on September 13th., just one week away! With a crowded field of 10 candidates and an unpopular incumbent Mayor, we know Brian is a longshot but we believe he does have a shot. We have already sent a mailing to the absentee voters and bought lawn signs. A mailing to all the likely voters was sent to the printer last Friday. Brian has already put up about $1,000 of his own money and is looking for support from Libertarians statewide to help keep his campaign in the black. Please visit his website and contribute whatever you can.

    Note for both campaigns:
    Campaign contributions are not tax deductible.
    There is a $500 limit from individual contributors.
    Contributions over $100 require that we report your occupation, employer and employer address.
