Pugh for mayor
Baltimore Sun ^ | 4/21/2018

Posted on 04/26/2019 10:48:24 AM PDT by detective

A year after Freddie Gray's death, Baltimoreans are eager for change. From the smallest neighborhood groups to the city's biggest institutions, people are clamoring for ways to address problems we have ignored for too long but which came painfully to the surface during last April's protests and unrest. What they need is a proven leader who can unite the city and channel that energy into a vision for a better Baltimore. That leader is Catherine Pugh.

Ms. Pugh grew up in a family of seven kids in Philadelphia. Her parents could provide a love of learning but not the money to go to college, so she moved to Baltimore and worked multiple jobs to pay her way through Morgan State University, where she later got an MBA. Her career has been varied, with experience in small and big business and the media. She served on the City Council for five years and the House of Delegates for two, and she has been a member of the state Senate since 2007, rising to the rank of majority leader.

That experience means she knows how to get things done in a political environment. She knows how to work with the business community — a crucial attribute in a city desperate for jobs — and she knows what it is like to struggle and strive. She has drawn broad support across racial, neighborhood and socio-economic lines in this election, and she is the only candidate who, from day one, would be able to bridge those divides in times of crisis or of opportunity.

The article is from last April.

The media and the political establishment almost unanimously endorsed Catherine Pugh for Mayor of Baltimore.

She was supposedly "a proven leader," they said "she knows how to get things done" and they said that "Catherine Pugh has the right background, experience and skills to lead Baltimore."

After less than a year as Mayor, Pugh has proven to be just one more corrupt Democrat.

Andy Green, the editor of the Baltimore Sun making the endorsement on the video has the same sort of blank, washed-out look of the leftist cuck like Adam Schiff or Beto O’Rourke

Same tired slogans, too.

Think about it - would the author of Healthy Holly be a crook? A book so good that she sold three times more copies than were even printed?

Your apology is accepted.
