On Sunday September 4th, San Pedro Independent Mayoral Candidate Mrs. Melanie Paz met with supporters and close friends to formulate her campaign strategy and to listen to advice and concerns. After a lively and interactive meeting, the group voted for a committee that will spearhead a positive campaign in the months leading to the 2012 municipal election.

Rigoberto Kumul was elected as Campaign Manager, Miguel Perez as Secretary and Earl Sutherland as Treasurer. In remarks to her supporters, Paz made it clear that her campaign will be free from any slander against other candidates and encourage her supporters to conduct themselves likewise.

In the weeks ahead, Paz will be meeting with the electorates in a house-to-house campaign and a series of neighborhood meetings all across the island. This will allow the public to have an opportunity to voice their concerns and advise Paz on issues they would like to be addressed when she is elected as Mayor.

Press Release

Good start Mel. If this can lead to a non-smear campaign and a discussion of the concerns that unite us rather than divide us, Mel's candidacy will be a gift from heaven.

In my dreams (oh well) municipalities would be non-partisan elections ..... but being as that is unrealistic, maybe we can realize the resurrection of good manners at least.
I'd say any campaign that achieves that is a raging success.

Go Mel.

Great start! No smear campaign, non-political and a well respected citizen and business woman. Would love to hear more!
Go Mel!

Very good choice for mayor!

Mel has my support from Belize City; San Pedro has my envy that we in Belize City do not have such a formidible candidate as she. Good luck Mel and congrats San Pedro.
