Ray Harmon
Ray Harmon, public servant and candidate for the Milwaukee Common Council in District 9, commented on his opponent, Alderman Puente, and his unwillingness to participate in a debate.
“As I campaign through District 9, communicating my ‘Vision for Change’ to constituents, I’ve heard from many citizens by phone, email and while going door to door asking if Alderman Puente has responded to my request for a debate,”Harmon said. “To this point, Alderman Puente has not responded, and it is evident he is unwilling to defend his record to his own constituents.”
“I believe it’s appropriate and fair for the citizens of District 9 to have the opportunity to gauge the work of their current alderman, and also my own plans for Northwest Milwaukee,” continued Harmon. “The refusal to debate is not representative of democracy, and Alderman Puente is turning his back on his constituents, who firmly hope for some positive changes in District 9.”
