I just wanted to point out a new feature on each candidate page on The Next Mayor website. Over the next several months, the six (or seven or eight) candidates for mayor will be traveling to countless events throughout the whole city. Clearly, the voters of this city can't go to all of them and hear what these guys have to say. So we're going to try and make it a little easier.
Called "In Their Own Words," this will be a page that includes audio, video or firsthand accounts from candidate appearances and events. We've already built a few for Dwight Evans, Michael Nutter and Tom Knox. Chaka Fattah will follow soon.
If any of our readers have a story to share about a sighting of potential candidate, please email me. Even better, if you have audio or video of the candidate, email me and I'll try to include it on the website. Blanket coverage from citizen journalists will get more info out than ever before.
For now, check out this flyer that made it's way to the Committee of Seventy's Fatima Nelson from a Tom Knox event. Maybe it's time for Tom to update the glamor shot so he doesn't look like an 80's gameshow host.
