BRIDGEPORT — In his first radio ad debuting Friday mayoral candidate John M. Gomes tells voters he is the only candidate that can bring reform to the city.
The ad begins with a sound of shovels hitting dirt, which Gomes said is the sound of “the hole the political machine is digging, killing Bridgeport’s future.”
Gomes promises, if elected, to break the machine by bringing reform to the city by ending “no-show political jobs,” creating performance reviews for all city departments, requiring that department heads live in the city, improving the city’s school system and bringing new jobs into the city.
“This is our first ad, but the fight is just beginning,” said Gomes campaign manager Lachlan McIntosh. “This is a fight to take the power from the ruling few who have failed the city and return it to the people. People in Bridgeport are tired of watching a small group prosper while everyone else suffers. The Gomes campaign is about bringing a new day to this city and that’s what this radio ad is about.”
