The Incumbents' Advantage

Incumbents always have an advantage in seeking re-election; as they should. The exposure during their current term and associated press coverage is a great asset. In Northglenn, the advantage goes a little further.
Some of the incumbents have been able to orchestrate favorable articles on the City web page, in the City newsletter, the Connection, in the Neighborly News and in the mass media. Another advantage is the ability to stage events such as the very premature ground breaking for the theater. Normally, ground breakings do not occur until all of the needed permits and approvals have cleared all procedural obstacles. This is true unless the incumbent needs to create an image for you.
Lastly, there is nothing better than having a new public relations consulting firm on the City payroll. You can afford it and feel it's well worth it, right?
