In this video, David DeLong, a candidate for the Northfield City Council Second Ward seat, tells you why you should vote for him.
No questions. Sixty-three seconds. Why should you be elected? It was that simple. Northfield Patch spent the past few weeks meeting with candidates in Northfield-related races to have them tell you, the constituent, why you should vote for them in their respective races. They could talk about anything they wanted: their experience, the issues or why they're a better option than their opponents. We wanted to take this approach because if you ran into a candidate on the street and he or she had your attention for a minute, what would they say to get your vote? In this video, David DeLong, a candidate for the Northfield City Council Second Ward seat, tells you why you should vote for him. Also be sure to read the Patch Q&A with DeLong. You …
