Jim Sutherland: Support for Gray is positive

I've been following and reading about the race for the 21st Assembly District between Adam Gray and Jack Mobley. I've noticed that many people in the community have submitted letters to the editor about the candidates. There has been a clear difference between the people supporting Adam Gray and the people supporting Jack Mobley. The letters for Adam Gray have been positive, highlighting his important endorsements, experience and his deep roots in this community. The letters written by Jack Mobley supporters have more often than not been mean-spirited attacks on Adam, his family and his supporters. Additionally, the "Shady Adam Gray" signs around town are nasty and unwarranted attacks on Gray's character.

If this is the kind of message coming from Jack Mobley and his followers, that's all I need to know. My vote is with Adam Gray.

JIM SUTHERLAND
