Nichols has the right qualities to lead
Oct 21, 2020
I was pleased to see so many wonderful letters supporting Mayor Mark Nichols for mayor in this past week’s Graphic. I see no purpose in repeating what others have written.

No more election letters
Oct 21, 2020
This is the last issue where letters about the 2020 election will appear in Graphic before the Nov. 3 general election, except under very narrow circumstances where a candidate is allowed to rebut a claim made about them in a letter in this week’s issue.

Vote for one step forward, not two steps backward
Oct 21, 2020
In 2007 there was a popular country song titled “One step forward two steps back” which was done by the Desert Rose band.

Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, and fast approaching. I am writing to ask the voters of Lake City to re-elect me to serve as mayor.
The accomplishments we have achieved as a city during my term are the result of the talent and contributions of literally hundreds of volunteer citizens, city staff...
Different roads to a common goal
Oct 14, 2020
There is no doubt in my mind that all the candidates for mayor and city council are honest, dedicated, and committed to a bright and prosperous future for Lake City. That having been said, however, it is a certainty that our various candidates represent significantly different approaches to achieve...

In just a few days voters will be going to the polls to cast their ballots if they haven’t voted already.
