Letter from John Gordon Hamill IV

Candidate To Run for Mayoral Post

In the City of Oneonta, it is safe to say that the municipality needs a progressive-minded mayor that will help turn the city around to help make progress. The city has underfunded employees such as the police and firefighters, bus drivers, and other public workers who aren’t in the official position. We have sidewalks and roads that need to be repaired and parking spaces that need to be accessible to all. We also have a huge significant housing crisis and a drug epidemic that needs to be addressed as well other issues. As an old-fashioned progressive mindset Democrat like FDR, I hereby announce my candidacy for mayor of the City of Oneonta. I would like to see the City of Oneonta make progress and not have it decline as it currently is, and I want to help fix the situations and the problems to the best of my abilities.

John Gordon Hamill IV
City of Oneonta
