Jim Moody

On Wednesday morning Mike Collins and Jim Moody join me for interviews about thier runs for Mayor. They had some tough words for each other in the Toledo Free Press debate earlier and we'll talk about that and some of the new things both are saying now that the election is just a week away.

The University of Toledo College Democrats and College Republicans will be hosting a Toledo Mayoral debate September 2nd at 7:00 PM in the Student Union Ingman Room. The Toledo community is welcome to this event and the debate will focus on issues that are important to University students.

Just recently Jim Moody stated what vehicles he had in his household. He failed to reveal that his wife has a 1980 Mercedes Benz . He only talked about the American made vehicles he and his wife own. He claims he thought the questions was how many vehiches he personally owns. I guess Mr. Moody doesn't understand the rules about community property. If his wife owns the vehicle, he owns it also. It is my belief that Mr. Moody is an extremely intelligent man, and therefore, I do not believe he misunderstood the question. Intelligent people like Mr.

The Lucas County Republican Party yesterday announced its slate of endorsed candidates for the six at-large Toledo City Council seats and the mayoral seat.

Jim Moody has been endorsed for the mayoral race.

For the council race:

Mark Clark, Jeff Cromwell, Rob Ludeman, George Sarantou, Hans Schnapp, and Constatine Stamos.

Well, I thank Jon Stainbrook for endorsing these candidates, now I know who I WON'T vote for!

Rob Ludeman? Yea right....Toledo needs a change, and he did nothing when he was on council before. We need to move Toledo forward, not backwards!

Mike Bell, D. Michael Collins, Ben Konop, Jim Moody and Keith Wilkowski will answer questions about the most important issues facing Toledo.

Local "harmful right wing propogandist" Fred LeFebvre (hey that's me) will have mayoral candidate Keith Wilkowski on Wednesday at 7:30a. This is part of the continuing series of interviews WSPD will have with all the viable mayoral candidates this summer and fall. Mike Collins will be on with Brian Wednesday afternoon, and I'm sure Mike Bell and Jim Moody will be making return appearances.
Council candidates not afraid of tough questions will also be on with us on a regular basis. Should be fun.

TPPA and City Administration Have "Sold Out Toledoans" "According to
all the reports I have seen, the biggest loser in the TPPA/City
contract are the citizens of Toledo and the still laid off police
officers," said mayoral candidate Jim Moody. Adding, "This contract
does little to address the costs of safety officers to the citizens of
Toledo, insures the city of Toledo will have a huge debt to pay in two
years for which there is no plan to pay for and leaves our streets
with fewer police officers than just a few short months ago. Our

44% Would Vote For Him Today
A recent poll taken by WTOL TV showed that if the mayoral election
were held now, Mayoral candidate Jim Moody would win by nearly 7%. We
are really excited that the voters of Toledo believe in our message",
said Moody. Adding, "It is clear that Toledoans want a candidate that
can deliver on job growth, public safety and a more transparent
government."
According to campaign manager Mark Kidman, "It is gratifying to know
that all our hard work is beginning to make a difference. We know the

Mayoral candidate Jim Moody, joined by two other mayoral candidates, was the guest of Lee Conklin of WTVG's Conklin and Company today, June 28th. "I think today once again demonstrated why Toledoan's have so much faith in our campaign," said Moody. "I was the only candidate to truly answer the questions asked, instead of speaking scripted talking points. I am concerned that if the other candidates can't answer questions in a straightforward manner as a candidate, what we can expect of them as a Mayor?"

Lucas County Republican Party endorses Jim Moody. Time will tell if it was worth it.

Stated Moody, "For the citizens of Toledo to have faith in its government, for unions to understand the fiscal condition of the city and for Council to understand the will of its constituents, Toledo government must be transparent and participatory. Our administration again leads any candidacy in protecting the citizens of Toledo."
