Cain Demonstrates the Importance of Respecting All Candidates Running for Office

Mayoral Candidate, Ann Mahoney, Ward 3 Candidate John Cain

Ward 3 City Council Candidate John Cain expressed his appreciation to the Mayoral Candidate, Ann Mahoney, for the complimentary invitation to her fund raising kick-off, recently held.

Cain believes that both candidates have voters in Ward 3. So it is important that the City Councillor is sensitive to all interest. Cain has met with, and listened to the concerns, issues and desires of the residents of Ward 3. Some support the incumbent, while others support the opponent.

Cain offers an openness to both, to ensure a positive relationship, when he is elected the new Ward 3 City Councillor.
