News Flash: You’re not going to win every vote.
Instead of telling people what you think they want to hear, why don’t you start telling them what you believe? Tell them why you and your ideas are the best for the job, even if they may disagree with you on some issues.
Obfuscation and speaking out of both sides of your mouth is likely to eventually come back to bite you. Honesty seldom does.
Reminder: You’re not going to win every vote.

For the record… This is EXACTLY how Barry Jantz won a major UPSET victory,
winning his first term on the La Mesa City Council.
