Topics include:
* It is now the last week of the campaign, and I am happy that we are coming to a close in this 2007 Mayoral campaign.
* Last Tuesday evening we had the final mayoral candidate forum at the Savannah Morning News auditorium, presented along with WSAV.
My opponents have nothing to run on, they only bring up issues that are irrelevant to governing the city of Savannah. I continue to talk about what we have already done and would like to continue to do, if you vote for Otis Johnson for mayor.
* Vote! Do not take anything for granted. We must avoid a run-off! We should not have to put up with this sort of campaigning any longer than is necessary.
Vote to insure a victory on November 6th. No run-off!
* There is a wide gap in the qualifications and philosophy of the candidates.

Otis reviews the beginning of the week

Monday was the opening of the Lady Bamford Early Childhood Development Center, which is a step forward in revitalizing the West Savannah area. The center will prepare children for success when they enter elementary school. The new center is a testament to the power of the partnerships of groups such as JCB, the City of Savannah, the United Way and others. They all had to come together to make this center possible.
At the Preserving Savannah Neighborhoods Forum the major emphasis was on the issue of widening Derenne Avenue.
Listen to the details of various forums held throughout Savannah. We fielded excellent questions, especially from the young people.
Vote early!
On Oct 29th early voting starts.
Vote early from October 29th through that Friday.
And remember - November 6th is election day and it is near.
Encourage your friends to vote for Otis Johnson.
No run-off!
We need 51.1% to prevent a run-off, saving taxpayers money.

Today the candidates for Mayor of the city of Savannah met together for the first time face to face. The venue was Savannah High School. The political discussion was sponsored by a teacher that had the students ask their questions directly to the candidates.
Many students had questions regarding the relationship between the police and the community. Many students asked about issues of poverty.
This election is about leadership. My experience over the past four years gave me an edge today. The students heard rhetoric and promises, but when you look at the list of our accomplishments (listed on Otis for Mayor .com) then you will see past the hype.
Please look at the site and the accomplishments,
and then consider the kind of leadership Savannah needs in the next four years.
Otis for Mayor!
I am the responsive, thoughtful, and accountable leader for Savannah.
