Dear Editor:
Re: Independents blame the machine, The Record, Nov. 19.
Interesting to read council candidate Harm Woldring's views on why he lost the election. Not having a single ad or sign to let voters know who he is probably played a significant role in his loss on election night.
I don't know Mr. Woldring, nor what business he runs, but suspect it may be struggling if he carries the same attitude about advertising in business as he did in politics. Seeing your name for the first time on an election ballot doesn't cut it for me. I'm more likely to vote for a candidate who puts in some effort to get elected rather than blame "The Machine."
