Dan Smith Campaign Mailer: Tell us what you think

The latest campaign mailer came from former councilman .  Benicia voters have now received mail from all the City Council and mayoral candidates except Rick Ernst.

Smith is keeping with the trend in this campaign by using a large post card format listing some of his endorsers on one side and his experience and priorities if elected on the other.  

He is the only candidate to use his mail to tell voters that property values are “closely tied to quality schools”.  Smith’s mailer mentions his leadership in expanding the partnership between the school district and the city and that both his children have attended Benicia schools.
