When you vote for anyone for any office, the first positive you look for is for knowledge. Wayne Poston knows the city of Bradenton like no one else. Not only the physical makeup, but the people.

The next positive required is experience. The past years with Mr. Poston as mayor have been banner years for the city. The city government has progressed each year with outstanding growth and achievements, all without major problems. We have a much better city with Wayne Poston as our leader.

It is not required but it sure helps when the mayor is well educated and smart. He knows what he is doing and is a smart planner and doer.

We have those qualities in Wayne Poston. And he is a gentleman!

Wayne has accomplished much of what he wanted to do, but there are still a few things left on his list. Let’s give him the vote he deserves and let him finish making Bradenton the best.

Another four years will benefit the city of Bradenton, and give Wayne Poston and the people of Bradenton the knowledge that he has been a great mayor of the best small city in Florida. Vote knowledge and experience, and vote for Wayne Poston for mayor.

William F. “Rusty” Russell
