A New Mayor for Brookside

Citizens of Brookside have many choices to make in the upcoming election. However, no ballot measure is more important than whom we select as our next mayor.
Although we have two qualified candidates to vote for, we believe that Rochelle Jackson has proven herself to be a stronger candidate than Suzette Muñez. During her eight years as a city council member, Ms. Jackson fought for tax cuts that resulted in an 18% growth in local business. She also managed the development of our new regional airport and sponsored three new after school programs for Brookside’s youth. The new laws proposed by Ms. Jackson have brought about a 31% drop in crime over the last five years.
While Ms. Muñez has an impressive track record as a large business owner, we feel that she lacks the public service experience needed to serve as mayor of Brookside. We fear her decisions would better serve big business and not the needs of our citizens and local businesses.

We at the Brookside Gazette strongly urge you to elect Rochelle Jackson as the next mayor of Brookside.

A news story is a written or recorded (or, occasionally, live) article or interview that informs the public about current events, concerns, or ideas.You don't usually write the story – though sometimes local media will use exactly what words you give them – but you provide story ideas to journalists who then flesh out your idea to create the story as it appears.

A feature article is a piece that conveys information and detail about a person or phenomenon. It is not an opportunity for you to give your opinion on a topic. Rather, your personality is conveyed through your writing style. 8
