In just a little over 3 years, with incredible fortitude and leadership, President Donald J. Trump has essentially negated the ultra-liberal presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. Our economy, (prior COVID-19) our military, jobs, and American exceptionalism are all on the rise!
And liberals hate him for it! In fact, they hate him much more than they love our country!
If Barack Hussein Obama had experienced a portion of the success in his eight feckless years as president, he would have been hailed as the greatest president in history by Democrats!
The hypocrisy is overwhelmingly obvious!
Can you even imagine what shape our economy would be in right now if we hadn’t bolstered it with the Trump presidency! And he’s doing it with conservative ideology and Biblically sound principles.
Now, can you imagine what could happen in The Jewel City with the same type of leadership!
We have an opportunity to do the very same thing here in Huntington, WV. by electing a mayor who will use conservative policies and Biblical principles in his approach. We need a mayor who will uproot the progressive value system Mayor Williams has forced upon the good citizens of Huntington.
We need a true leader who will face down the deep state that’s enveloped our city in the darkness of dilapidation and destitution.
Brother or not…the facts have been weighed.
There is a conservative candidate who will take back the city of Huntington, WV. from the hands of the deep-state liberals.
We need Scott Caserta as mayor of Huntington.
I find it extremely amusing, disingenuous and even a bit ignorant for Scott’s opponents to be leveling a negative campaign against him for being a Democrat for 12 years.
Scott’s opposition should study their history!
The “Great Communicator”, sometimes referred to as the “father of conservatism” was a Democrat 33 years, before switching to the Republican Party in 1962. Ronald Reagan was instrumental in the demise of communism and was one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history! But, do you know why Reagan switched parties?
“I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. They left me,” Reagan said of his departure. Ronald Reagan “bravely” made the choice to represent his constituents over a “party”!
And with the Democrat Party moving further to the left, the same could not be truer for today’s politics!
The Democrat Party left Scott Caserta and many others in our state. It’s no longer the party of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman or John F. Kennedy. It’s become the party of avowed socialist Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Steve Williams!
And that’s not the America or the Huntington we want – period. Scott’s opponents are attacking him for the bravery he exhibited in deciding “people” over “party”. He’s not interested in prospering the Democrat Party or even the Republican Party!
Scott’s interested in prospering the city of Huntington!
Based on the behaviors and actions of our current mayor and city officials, it’s fair to say (actually, an understatement) we have a city administration that aligns “unfavorably” with conservatism. Their inability to manage the city of Huntington has adversely impacted many people. And since they haven’t a clue as to how to bring in industry, create jobs or clean up our city, they are attempting to build an economic model on drug rehabilitation.
And trust me when I tell you, there are people profiting by attracting and at times, “delivering” addicts within our city limits for drug treatment. Our city, for all intents and purposes, has become a sanctuary for addiction.
Albeit at a local level, these policies couldn’t be more devastatingly liberal, perversely progressive and devastatingly detrimental to our city as, they were for our country!
If our city leaders worked as hard creating an environment conducive to industry and manufacturing as they do for becoming an addiction sanctuary, we’d be a very different city. The self-serving nature of our mayor and his minions is eroding our city’s very foundation.
Just as our nation needed a profoundly different type of leadership following the “fundamental change” of Barack Obama, the city of Huntington needs opposition leadership with the business acumen and intestinal fortitude to return our city to greatness.
We need someone with a proven record of unwavering commitment to public servitude. We need someone willing to make the unpopular decision, yet willing to always act in the best interest of the community. We need someone willing to adhere to Godly values in decision-making.
Scott Caserta is the most qualified candidate to make this happen.
It’s very simple. We need to drain the swamp in Huntington, expose the deep state and begin replacing those politicians who couldn’t care less about a viable future for the citizens of Huntington and returning our city to wealth and prosperity.
We need integrity in politics, not attacks using monikers based on pre-conceived notions and political aspirations. Politics have become tired and irrelevant to many because of this approach.
Yes, Scott’s my brother and I love him. But he’ll be the first to tell you, the future of the city of Huntington is more important than just seeing him elected. We don’t agree on everything. But we work together and listen to the other’s position. We learn from each other and have the other’s best interest at heart.
And we don’t try to build our own legacy by destroying the other’s. That’s a sad eulogy for any politician. “I built my legacy, by tearing yours down”. That’s very sad, indeed.
Citizens of Huntington, I believe in you. I trust you will make the right decision. You’re smarter than anyone gives you credit for. You want our city to be a place people want to live and raise a family, not a place people can’t wait to leave.
You can make this happen! Get informed. Get engaged. Pray about it. And then vote your heart.
Most importantly, go with God.
