Thank you for visiting our campaign website. Since the September primary, we have worked hard to spread the message of continued progress (economic development, stronger infrastructure, improved human services, improved recreation, and civility) to the city. If you are still looking for information beyond what is out there already or otherwise available on my website, please see my letter.

I thank Mayor Leo Bender for his support. When Mayor Bender retired from the military and returned to his hometown of Broadview Heights, our community was very different than it is today. The Mayor's office was a part-time position and the community was just beginning to make a transition from a rural community to a more cosmopolitan community. There were many good reasons our community elected him to six consecutive terms. To continue to make progress, we must know our city's history and there is much we can learn from Mayor Bender and other long-time residents.

Two of our strongest city leaders are Councilmen Dave Wondolowski and Robert Boldt. Both men work tirelessly to make this community a good place to live and raise a family. I appreciate their support and look forward to continuing working with them side-by-side as colleagues.

I thank all the residents who I have met over the past few months. I remain impressed with the talent and energy that exists to improve our community and to take it forward. I also thank the many teachers and staff members in our two school systems who have expressed support. In the end, it it is about leaving the world a better place for the next generation and we are fortunate to have such outstanding schools.

This campaign began in March with a simple slogan - Together, Let's Do What's Right for Broadview Heights. As you go to the polls on Tuesday, November 6, please remember that a great city requires that all of us (the young people, working families, professionals, seniors, and the disaffected) continually strive toward building a community founded on mutual respect, trust, and cooperation.

I respectfully ask for your vote on Election Day.
Sincerely,

Sam Alai,
Council President & Candidate for Mayor of Broadview Heights
