BRACK: Tecklenburg has earned a second term

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | John Tecklenburg is Charleston’s only viable and reasonable choice for mayor Nov. 5 if the city wants to remain on the path to deal with flooding, traffic and more.

Over the last four years, he’s provided critical leadership to move us forward with dozens of infrastructure projects from stormwater and flooding improvements to new fire stations, improved and new parks, road improvements, affordable housing and community centers.

BRACK: Why I’m voting for John Tecklenburg

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | John Tecklenburg has the best line in the campaign to be Charleston’s next mayor:

“Charleston is not a theme park,” he tells people during meetings and in ads.

In just six words, he succinctly captures what’s different about his candidacy and lets us in on his secret: he’s running to serve the people of Charleston. He wants to work collaboratively with people to foster a community vision that focuses on what Charleston’s residents want their future to be.
