“We condemn Councilman Jim Kee's
tactics in his Greensboro City Council race against Jamal Fox. Attempting to
discredit someone based on their age is a tactic we strongly oppose, and Kee's
desperate tactics are a disservice to the people of Greensboro. Fox’s students
have made it clear Kee's attacks are untrue.
No
candidate should allow their campaign to become more important than setting an
example of integrity in public service. Individual board and executive
committee members of the Guilford County Democratic Party have publicly
endorsed Fox since Kee’s original allegations were reported because Democrats
stand behind the right of all registered voters to exercise their right to vote
and stand as candidates for public office if they so choose - regardless of
their age.”

Ish just got really serious. Can anyone say generation gap? What was seemingly a cakewalk for Kee a couple of months ago just turned into a dead heat that may result in the incumbent committing political suicide.
"No candidate should allow their campaign to become more important than setting an example of integrity in public service."
The above should be applied to all candidates: from city counsel to President of The United States.
