I have been fortunate to serve as the 6th Ward Alderman myself, as well as two terms as Mayor of Evanston, so I know what it takes to handle this job. That’s why I believe Mark is the best-qualified candidate.

– Jay Lytle
 
I got to know Mark during his many years as Board Chair of BEHIV. I have always been impressed by his problem-solving abilities and his tireless efforts to find common ground and build consensus. Mark will provide extraordinary leadership for Evanston’s 6th Ward. I hope you will vote “Tendam for Alderman” on April 7.

Time has come to change the way we manage our City.

In this time of economic crisis, Evanston and the 6th Ward need strategic leadership. We need a City Council that thinks creatively, works collaboratively and focuses all of its energies on keeping our City safe, secure and vibrant. We must reject the notion that we can limp from budget to budget, line item to line item and elect a Council that is capable of managing the present in a way that ensures our future. We must also plan for the day when the economic crisis allows us to return to a more normal way of life in this city.

Dear Sixth Ward Residents and All of Evanston,

I am running for Sixth Ward Alderman and I am asking for your support. I am excited about the upcoming campaign and the chance that we all have to reshape our City Council on April 7, 2009.
