NIXON FOR MAYOR

A Republican You Can Trust

Dear Friend,

My name is David J. Nixon candidate for mayor in the City of Evansville. I believe that I am a good communicator, defender of workforce development, supporter of community health care, education, and small businesses.

I strive to be a good leader who guides, oversees, understand the importance of diversity, directs the course and actions of our city, its school districts, appreciate teachers, seek better housing development programs for our veterans, the disabled, individuals and families who are homeless, and senior citizens. I appreciate and respect the views and opinions of others. I am approachable, I do have a sense of humor, and accept criticism.

MEET DAVID J. NIXON

I am a native of Tuscumbia, Alabama, graduated from Deshler High School, and attended Jacksonville State University. I entered the Armed services, and attended Austin Peay University in the state of Tennessee, where I studied Administration, and became certified from the school of Atlanta Institute in Sales and Management. After returning home from serving in the US Army School of Business and Management, I received a Personnel Administrative Degree, completed a 45-hour course and was certified at the Alabama Real Estate Commission.

The majority of my professional instructional training in leadership is attributed to the United States Army Reserve/School of Administration, with a degree of Associates of Science and Business Administration/Personnel Management, Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. I was trained in the following military courses: Front Line Retention Leadership Program, Officer Personnel Management School, Personnel Management Basics, Administrative Specialist School (7IL), and Personnel Administrative Specialist Training (75B).

Senator Alan MacGregor Cranston created the "Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act." (HUD Project) It is a supportive program designed for persons with disabilities. He was born on June 19, 1914 and he died on December 31, 2000.

Although he was a Democrat, we have a common cause, an unwavering determination. Senator Cranston used this Chinese quote as a guide for leadership.

A quote by the Chinese Philosopher

(American Translation)

Lao-Tzu

A leader is best

When people barely know

That he exists,

Less good when

They obey and acclaim him,

Worse when

They fear and despise him.

Fail to honor people

And they fail to honor you.

But of a good leader,

When his work is done,

His aim fulfilled, they will all say,

"We did this ourselves."

Tao Te Ching

Written by Lao-Tzu

From a translation by S. Mitchell

Last updated 20 July 1995

Chapter 17

When the Master governs,

the people are hardly

aware that he exists.

Next best is a leader

who is loved.

Next, one who is feared.

The worst is one who is

despised.

If you don't trust the

people,

You make them untrustworthy.

The Master doesn't talk,

he acts.

When his work is done,

the people say, "Amazing

we did it, all by

ourselves!"

I would like to be elected as your next Mayor and offer my professional leadership skills to the people of Evansville, however, it will not happen without your vote in November 06, 2007. If you have not registered to vote, I urge you to register today. Your vote does count!

I have experience in government. I had the honor of working for the former governor in the State of Michigan, and held a position as Sergeant At Arms in the Capitol in Lansing, Michigan. I ran for governor in the State of Michigan in 2002, received four-(4) State of Michigan Special Tributes for outstanding community services with my business "Young Gentlemen and Women (YG/W), awarded "Teacher of the Year" at a junior college, and I am a veteran and very proud to have served my country in the military for over twenty-(20) years.

I believe in UNITY and working together for a better Evansville. I want to make sure that Evansville Is Not Left Out!

The EXTERIOR of our city looks great; however, the INTERIOR of our city has an EYE-SORE-VIEW in certain areas throughout the communities. People are hurting, losing their jobs, homes, and businesses.

I have been taught and trained by the very best MINDS in our beloved country "AMERICA." I have the WISDOM of a governor, the INSTRUCTION, WILL POWER and ENDURANCE of a mayor to help manage our city and keep it debt-free.

I want a guarantee that the YOUTH, COLLEGE GRADS, BLUE COLLAR WORKERS, the SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES, HOMELESS FAMILIES, UNEMPLOYED, SENIOR CITIZENS, VETERANS, and YOU, the people of Evansville will stay included with the plans, development, and healthy growth of our city.

Thank you.
