King Solomon _Allentown Mayor 2017

WHY I AM RUNNING:
I’m running for Mayor because I believe that we can only become and continue to be a great city by bringing about real and positive change and progress for all Allentonians. This city requires someone who exhibits strong leadership and has the moral fortitude to rise above petty partisan bickering, brinkmanship, and obstruction and in the process position Allentown to take the mantle as the rising star city. Over the last few months, I have spent a lot of time in this town pounding the pavements, knocking on doors, making phone calls, having fireside chats and talking to ordinary people of this beautiful city. I have no doubt in my mind that many of you have the same feeling as I do that beneath our feet lies a well of untapped potential that can only be harnessed with strong, dedicated and visionary leadership.
