Bruce Cheney
For Mayor

A message from Bruce...
“My name is Bruce Cheney, and I’m running as an independent candidate for Mayor of Laconia.  Over the past few months I’ve seen various posts and articles from my opponent, Mike Bordes and his team.  Most are filled with senseless dialogue and offer no concrete solutions.  I decided specifically not to engage.

He mentions that the “Laconia Mayor’s race is non-partisan…” but he is backed by one of the most partisan organizations in the country, the AFL-CIO.
 
I have not asked ANY partisan leaders to endorse me.  I do ask them to vote for me, as I am confident that they know me and they know my years of dedicated work for Laconia.

Bordes mentions all the Laconia city departments and mentions the Fire Department’s equipment and manpower needs that he plans to address.  This shows that he is out of touch with what the current councilors and I have done this past year. He fails to mention my successful efforts to provide a significant increase in pay for ALL city employees….ABOVE the Union negotiated pay scale to help retain our outstanding employees. Apparently he doesn’t know that we added 4 additional firefighters in 2022, ordered 2 new ambulances, an engine truck, more personal protective gear, and a new ladder truck to keep our firefighters and our community safe.  He must also be unaware that we have authorized a new Community Paramedic program that provides a higher level of medical service to our citizens, and we did this and managed to remain under the Tax Cap.

I feel that it is a conflict of interest for Mike Bordes to be both a State Rep and a mayor.  Laconia deserves to have a Mayor all-in and fully committed to this great city.  I am that candidate and ask for your vote.”
