I have been a part of our local government for the past 20 years and I can tell you without any doubt RoxannWedegartner is the only candidate on (or off) the ballot with the necessary skills and tools to be our next mayor. Seriously, this should not even be a question.

Please do not get bogged down by ballot questions that will be decided up or down on Nov. 5. The job of mayor is bigger than the questions. The person elected to the position of mayor will be in charge of our city for at least four more years. Four years overseeing all departments and all city services. Four years of running a $55 million operation with hundreds of employees.

Nobody running but Roxann is up for this challenge. Nobody. It is time for all of Greenfield to get on board with RoxannWedegartner and make her our next mayor. On Nov. 5 lets come together and move Greenfield forward. This is our chance.
