We've been looking at this
very much,
sharing a laugh with his opponents,
campaign workers, John Longstreet, it's
happy to see this Election Day brought to
a close.
I've been at virtually all of the polls
and I've been very gratified by the the
people that I've seen voting.
I haven't seen as many as I'd like, but
I've known so many of them that I feel
real confident about our outcome tonight.
Longstreet's opponent is David Perry, the
first African-American elected to Plano
City Council.
If Perry wins tonight, he will also be
the city's first African-American mayor.
I think Plano is going to be a very
multicultural, multifaceted community
and have more like that.
Mayor, they know that I have someone that
understands the customs, the culture, and
will certainly be listening to them.
Both men have served together on city
council and they say they are friends.
Long Street adds to a credit to the
people of Plano that color has
not entered into this run for the mayor's
seat.
I think they're focused on quality
individuals rather than what color they
might be. And I know that both
of the candidates have been committed to
a positive campaign and that may have
something to do with it as well.
And when I first city council was elected
by the people at that time, that I'd be
the council member for all citizens,
then no, I'll certainly be that type of mayor.
