The stage is set. The Chamber has done what it promised to do…provide you credible and timely information regarding the candidates and their positions on business-related issues. It is time we, as business community members, did our part by voting in the Tuesday, September 11 primary election.

Your September issue of the Chamber's Xpress Newsletter included a 12 page special supplement called Election 2007. It contained a comprehensive presentation of the candidates' positions related to economic development within our community. Election 2007 also included a presentation of the survey results generated by the 299 members who chose to make their voices heard within the survey.

Additionally, throughout last week, the Chamber hosted several forums called Candid Conversations with Candidates. These conversations enabled the Chamber to record the candidates' thoughts on issues facing our business community. These conversations are available via the web at www.duluthchamber.com/community/government.htm.

Please use the Election 2007 insert or the Candid Conversations web presentations as a resource when deciding who you will support. The Chamber's Board of Directors and staff members respectfully encourage the Chamber's 1,259 members to vote in this primary. Voting is a privilege and a hard earned right which we honor when we take the time to cast our vote.

Make sure your voice is heard.

Yours in support,

David Ross
