Correction, Nick. The Republicans would win by the Conservative Unaffiliated vote and not by the Republican vote alone. The same applies to the Farrahkrats running under the Dr. Moore Platform.
Don't try to sell folks a used car here, bruh. People do Carfax reports. If Miss Ellen wins, she will be the first Female Unaffiliated Mayor in the history of Washington. If the County GOP wants to attract more Rock Stars for local leadership, the need to engage after the younger-middle aged voters, who are most Unaffiliated or Independent now, instead of banking on the "old vote". The cards ain't where they used to be.

Washingtonian - If you really want to see who runs city government, go to a council meeting and open your eyes. You will see the mayor constantly looking at his phone and his wife in the audience texting away. The mayor has three go-fers on the city council that he needs to exercise power and defeating them will gut the mayor's power. Even better, replace the mayor, too.

Nick, arent you the candidate that said you thought the City should give, not rent, homes to the people it selects?
Didnt you express the thought that the City manager was awesome? I consider him, not the Mayor, the head of the snake.

Nick: If we elect three council members, out-of-the-box thinking governing officials such as yourself, wise decisions can made; low hanging fruit can be handled and dealt with effectively.
Governing is not Rocket Science; however, it does appear to be so for the many politicians /governing officials here in Beaufort County.

Stan, we have a real opportunity during this election. Lou Hodges is not running; William Pitt withdrew from the race; and Brooks barely skated in last time. That's three potential seats. If the conservatives in Washington really turn out this year the Republicans will control the Washington City Council for the first time in living memory. We can accomplish amazing things. If we use that wave of enthusiasm we can tip the scales during the County Commisioners race and we can have the the city and county controlled by conservatives! This is the year to make great things happen! Let's ruduce property tax to nearly zero percent, trim the budget by 10%, cut utility costs by 10%, and ferret out all corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse!

As a county commissioner, who taxes the public to pay for the Sheriff's Office for North Carolina's 5th largest county, in size for both land and water, I have to question: Why does relatively tiny Washington have such a large Police Department, and how does it have the resources to surveil anyone that is not a criminal?

So if I were to drive by my ex-wife's house in Virginia just to see if she's there, for two weeks,that would be surveillance....or stalking?
Surveillance- Close observation of a person or group, especially one under suspicion. The act of observing or the condition of being observed. Oversight; watch; inspection; supervision These idiots in the City Government don't have business putting air in a tire. They've screwed their self with a foot long shaft and it's right on going deeper.

It has been reported on this platform that one of our City Council members does NOT even live in Washington.
I wonder if the City police were sent to verify that all the Council members live where they say they live? Its been reported on WITN at www.witn.com that the police were surveilling Ellen Brabo to verify that she actually lived at the B & B. Shouldnt the police do the same for Council members?

part 2:
Everyone connected to the Washington Govt is in on it because they have been part of the cover-up. I suspect the cabal was looking for a reason to charge her with a crime, so as to make her seem dishonest. I know this because I have been a victim of the City corruption too. Alex Murtaugh would fit right in here in Washington.

Corrupt Govts are difficult to prosecute. Because as a City official told me:"It means whatever we say it means."
If it werent for th whistleblower, Brabo wouldnt have a leg to stand on, because the corrupt police would simple say, "we had a suspicion." On any connived suspicion, they could snoop around in her backyard whether it was fenced & locked or not & peek n her windows. They could do internet investigations on her,& even sic the other authorities on her, based on their lying talking-point "suspicions." NC lawyers would refuse to take a case against any police dept based on that fuzzy line w/ police authority. Lawyers cant be trusted, because in order to survive they had had to learn to wk jointly w/ th City,police, D.A.,Judges. They consider your civil rights expendable, but their survival must be protected. Under these conditions, whose word would u as a fellow "official" take? The City cabal, or Brabo's? Brabo would be up the creek w/out a paddle. part 1, part2 to follow.

What is really scary is what is being done to our police force to make it into Sadler's police state apparatus. The honest Chief has been demoted and they are quietly seeking a new chief who will be in their political pocket. Meanwhile, Sadler's henchman assistant city manager is running the show with the police. Is Sadler trying to form his own local KGB or Gestapo? These out of control power bullies need to be thrown out of office. Sadler wants to be Washington's Idi Amin.

The City of Washington is corrupt.
As a county commissioner, I will not grant any county money until the corruption is gone, and all debts to the targeted individuals are settled. Of course, because of the Center /Left - Left Coalition, it does not really matter about what I do or don't do. Of course, if the City of Washington would police themselves against their abject corruption, that would be a good thing.

Well lookey here!!! The Washington City Cabal is preparing for some sort of damage control...hmmm. They got caught spying on a private citizen with taxpayer money....like when Obama got caught spying on the Trump team during the 2016 election.
The statement given by the detective, under oath, is enough to present probable cause to investigate for possible fraud and misappropriation of public funds; that's just for starters. If the Farrakhan Nazis think they're going to "Biden" their way out this one, I think they should seriously look at the hand they're playing. They ain't got the cards! This goes beyond "local politics as usual"; this is the same s*** they, the Globalists, have pulled on anyone that's a threat to the system on any level. Not only have they done this to Trump, they did this to Ross Perot when he kicking Bush (Scherf) and Clinton's ass in '92. This CANMOT be tolerated.

Sworn testimony gives support to our complaint that the City of Washington DOES target its citizens "that dont play ball."
wcti12.com I was targeted too. And I learned that everyone in the Washington Govt and those in Washington who depend on it to work here, The LAWYERs, are in on it. By the way, to whom it may concern, Stacey Drakeford is male.

Has anyone filed a complaint about the misuse of our city police force by the mayor with the State Auditor? They should.

Washingtonian - The city manager is indeed more involved in the exercise of power in Washington, along with Sadler. However for Sadler to have the power in the first place, he needs a majority on the City Council, where the legal power in city government resides. Sadler has his three seat warmers, his Three Stooges, on the council, and as long as they are in place, Sadler has absolute power. In terms of exercising power, the Three Stooges are little more than window dressing, but without them having a council majority, Sadler would not be able to be the power bully that he is. Dumping the Three Stooges is just as important, if not more so, than dumping Sadler.
A clear example of government waste is a city our size having an unnecessary ASSISTANT city manager. But she is part of Sadler's power structure, and he is really trying to find an excuse to slide her into the city manager's job, which would give him even more power and control.

WOW. The chairwoman of the Beaufort County Republican Party has called for the immediate resignation of Mayor Sadler over his ordering the police department to conduct illegal political surveillance on his main political opponent.

He seems to be indispensable as he rotates in the top jobs as needed, to maintain control. Stalin would love that type of consolidation of power into a few. Note that he once again became Police Chief when the current chief was demoted without a peep. A man the Manager describes as a "team player." (Do as you are told.) Everyone with the City does as they are told, or they dont keep their job/jobs. Citizens become targets if they expect excellence in Govt, over corruption of Govt. Washington needs new leadership. Brabo couldnt possibly be worse for WeThePpl than th status quo.

What gives Mayor Sadler absolute power as the tin horn dictator of city government is his control of the city council through the Three Stooges of his political machine, three yes men who will follow his orders without question. They are Richard Brooks, Anthony Tyre, and Antwon Horton. Brooks is in his 80s and illiterate. He has to be told what to do because he cannot read or write. Tyre does not even really live in Washington. He only has a mail drop address downtown. It is well known that in the last election, he was really living in Aurora, and he now really lives in Greenville.
If voters want honest and efficient city government, not dictated to by the Sadler political machine, they need to clean house of the Three Stooges of the Sadler machine. Given that Brabo is running as an Unaffiliated, I do not know if it would help or hurt her for the Republican Party to jump into her race. What Sadler is doing to her reminds me of what those in Russiagate did to Trump. Those things are disgusting and do not belong in American politics.

Also, another interesting piece of this shenaniganry:
I'm neither seeing or hearing a Republican response about the situation pertaining to Miss Brabo. Unless I'm blind or have conducted flawed public web searches, I'm seeing that Miss Brabo is Unaffiliated.....very VERY interesting indeed. I'm expecting no response, either way, from the Farrakhan left but I am, however, curious to see what the response will be from the GOP. If members of the GOP executive committee are reading this, I strongly urge you to convene and discuss a public response to the obvious political witch-hunt against Ellen Brabo. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Call it like it is and let the cards falls as they will.

If what I am hearing is correct, it is not "the local Autocrats (Uniparty)". It is the Democrat leftwing political machine of Mayor Sadler and the local Deep State. They are trying to change the local government rules to shut down the business of Sadler's opponent in the mayor's race, and had the local police follow her around for months to surveil her. Using the police against your political opponents is something one would expect in Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, or some Third World banana republic, NOT in Washington, North Carolina, but it did happen here. Those responsible need to be tossed OUT on election day.

This ain't the first time the local Autocrats (Uniparty) have orchestrated a hitjob on a promising political candidate. If what I'm concluding is true, we have a situation where a private citizen has been under Police surveillance, for over a year...paid for by taxpayer dollars, and where obvious intimidation maneuvers are being utilized by political opponents.
It is MY belief that Mayor Sadler may not-so-publicly subscribe to the same radical "Black Nazi" beliefs as disgraced former Lt. Governor and bumbling Moor, Mark Robinson. For y'all who don't know REAL history, Elijah Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan aligned with the American Nazi Party in the mid-late 60's. When Rockwell and Malcolm X joined forces, it is widely believed that the Nation of Islam had both Rockwell and Malcolm X bumped off. Too many people started waking up to the bulls*** and started asking questions....the "black nobility" couldn't have it. We'll see if this is legit or another controlled op.

Buzz, what is so bad about a bedroom community? Greenville is only 30 minutes away AND, I can order anything I want or need from Amazon, Walmart, or the Business itself, via the internet. This is no longer the 90s. Washington is no longer isolated. Times have changed. Besides Greenville has become dangerous.
I once asked a man why he lived in Washington while his business was in Raleigh. He said because he can get from one end of town to the other with only 2 traffic lights. Its a few more now, but is still meaningful. The problem with businesses, is that local govts cater to them, going so far as to let them step on the toes of the citizens just trying to live. Its part of the corruption. People with $$ get favors. Why? probably because those in Govt get favors in return. If you are just a taxpayer, then you are invisible to your local Govt, or you have become a target.
