Campaign commercial review - City Council District #2

Toledo City Council District 2 candidate, Molly McHugh Branyan, has a campaign commercial running on local radio stations.

As she's running against the former president of the Toledo Police Patrolman's Association, D. Michael Collins, her choice of Sheriff Jim Telb to do her commercial makes a lot of sense from a strategic standpoint.

However, in focusing on safety, Telb says that Molly will keeps kids safe going to and from school - and while in school. Of course, there is nothing that Toledo City Council can do about keeping kids safe while in school - that's the role of the Toledo School Board which has seven candidates running for two seats.

Sadly, this major flaw detracts from what would otherwise be a good campaign commercial. Fortunately for Molly, very few people will recognize it.

*I do not live in District 2 and will not be voting on this race.
