D. Scott Belin Announces Mayoral Candidacy

Independent candidate for Mayor D. Scott Belin has issued a press release regarding why he is running:

D. Scott Belin Announces Mayoral Candidacy
Put Plainfield First!
Plainfield, N.J. — June 12, 2013D. Scott Belin announces his candidacy to be the next mayor of the City of Plainfield, NJ.
“Many citizens have asked for a choice in the general election and are seeking a true change in Plainfield’s leadership,” said D. Scott Belin. “Today, I announce my candidacy for the position of Mayor of Plainfield, NJ. Like many of Plainfield’s citizens, I have patiently waited for our city to be put on the right path; only to see it continue to be second to party politics with little progress. Once again, we are being promised a new party hopeful, a scenario that seems very much like what we saw two terms ago. When a decision is made by the party leaders before the primary, Plainfield’s citizens are being provided little choice. My candidacy changes this and reflects the democratic process, by giving the voters a choice come November. We, in Plainfield, now have a choice from a future looking very much like the past. We hear promises to unite, move Plainfield in a new direction and vague plans for success.  History has shown us these promises are followed by a short honeymoon, political party discord and plans that do not benefit Plainfield; leading to resident disappointment. We in Plainfield deserve better. We can do better, we must be better. We can start by showing we are ready to be the best Plainfield we can – and Put Plainfield First! We need a Mayor who prioritizes the needs of Plainfield first. A candidate that knows Plainfield’s history its’ significance to the region, who remembers what it once was, where it is today and what it must be in the future to be successful. I am that candidate. My administration will be all inclusive, not driven by party affiliation, economic status, race or creed. My administration will seek the best and brightest. Plainfield must have a city government that draws on all to be its best. We must include all in the city, not just a select few. We must bring in new ideas and talent, not recycle the same candidates. Plainfield has a choice, vote for a true change, D. Scott Belin and move forward or choose to continue as we have done in the past, expecting different results.”

  2. I like D. Scott Belin's approach to addressing the issues. It's kinda hard to go against a person who grew up in the city and is a current resident. But aside from that his business experience is clearly head and shoulders above the other candidates. Restoring Plainfield Pride is the only way to get to the future.
