Letters: Dublin mayor
Briefly

Josey has experienceto be Dublin's mayor I enthusiastically support Jean Josey for Dublin mayor. As the most experienced candidate in this race, Jean has been on the City Council for six years and served as vice mayor in 2022. Jean cares deeply about the safety of Dublin citizens and she recently received the endorsement of Alameda County Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez. She doesn't just talk the talk; she walks the walk. She has heavily lobbied for the retail theft bill package that was recently signed into law, as well as Proposition 47 reform. She sits on the National League of Cities Public Safety and Crime Prevention Committee learning best practices and working to procure resources from the federal government for our local jurisdiction. A diversity of Dublin residents support Jean Josey.
One key takeaway from the presidential debate is Trump's use of lies to manipulate voters through fear and to justify his politics of grievance and retribution. During the debate, Trump made baseless claims about Haitians eating dogs and babies being murdered after birth. While his lies elicited giggles, they are extremely dangerous. His lies about Haitians were followed by bomb threats against municipal facilities and schools in Springfield. In 2020, Trump lied about the election and attempted to overturn its results. His falsehoods fueled the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and he falsely blamed out-of-control Capitol police and Nancy Pelosi. Looking ahead, Trump's past behavior is a strong predictor of future actions. He has threatened to prosecute politicians, judges and media personnel. Essentially, this overrides the Constitution.
