Smitherman For Council Campaign Ad - "Crucial"
I'm Christopher Smitherman. Please elect me to Cincinnati City Council on November the 4th. Your vote is crucial. Our city is headed in the wrong direction and we need new leadership to turn it around. Because of mismanagement by the mayor and city council, citizens could pay up to $4 million to settle lawsuits by the fire chief and police chief. I'm an independent who will bring common sense and experience back to City Hall. Show up on November the 4th and vote for me, Christopher Smitherman. Thank you. Paid for by Smitherman for Counseling.
