Cockayne's speech to GOP this week

Endorsement Speech by 2nd District City Council hopeful Ken Cockayne at the July 17th Republican Town Committee:

Tonight, I, Ken Cockayne, am honored to accept your nomination for Councilman for the City of Bristol in the 2nd District. I want to thank everyone for their support and I will work hard on your behalf over the course of this campaign and beyond!

This election is about moving Bristol forward. It’s about making hard decisions about what is right for the people of Bristol. People are tired of old school, partisan politicians who are more concerned with protecting their own positions than doing what is right for Bristol. Bristol is at a crossroads and politics as usual will no longer suffice. Strong leadership is needed more now than ever.

· Leaders who are about solutions,
· Leaders who are about action, and
· Leaders who are about doing what is right NOW, not what is convenient or beneficial for the next election.

Complacency is not okay. Promising change, and not delivering is not okay. Increasing taxes and spending year after year with no improvement in our quality of life is not okay!

I will be a leader about action. I will work with any and all council members on doing what is right for Bristol, setting priorities for our wonderful city that will benefit us now and in the future.

This is the first step in our journey towards positive change. I urge everyone here to stay as motivated and involved as you are right now throughout this campaign season. Please attend fundraisers, man the polls, and support our ticket.

Thank you for your endorsement.
Ken Cockayne
