Kenley will be good addition to council

I support Craig Kenley and ask the voters to elect him to Clayton City Council.

I served with him on the New Lebanon Village Council, where he worked to retain and bring new jobs to the town at a time when it was in serious decline and in jeopardy of losing more retail services.

His vision for opportunities that would bring stable jobs to the community allowed the village to experience an unprecedented expansion of new business that continues to serve the community today.

Kenley worked to build consensus for innovation with those who opposed any change and met opposition with dignity.

Kenley has received the National Hometown Leadership award, the Director’s Award for Economic Activities from the state of Ohio, and recognition from Montgomery County commissioners for his leadership and economic development achievements.

He has shown my family over 25 years that he is willing to make the hard decisions and be a reliable friend. The people of Clayton will do well to elect him to council.

Kenley makes tough, necessary decisions

I fully support and strongly encourage the voters of Clayton to elect Craig Kenley to Clayton City Council

I served with Kenley on the Hunters Glen Condo Association and the Northmont School Board and have found him to a very hard worker who attends to the details.

In our association, Kenley has been helpful in planning for the needs of our community, from budget planning to following up with vendors, and even changing light bulbs if necessary.

Kenley doesn’t penalize people for their honesty, but listens to both sides of any and all situations.

I have found Kenley to be open to new ideas, not just those he himself brings to the table. He also looks at the ideas of his peers in helping in determining the needs that are best for the community. He stands up great under pressure and shows humility under praise.

As my friend, he has shown me, my family and our association that he can make the important decisions that are needed when running a community, and he is quite reliable.

The citizens of Clayton will do very well to elect Craig Kenley to the City Council.

Kenley represents new blood in the city

Clayton is a growing community and I, for one, support new leadership to strengthen Clayton’s assets and reduce its limitations.

Craig Kenley represents new blood for the city. He has experience with municipal government and a willingness to lend his leadership and expertise in government regulations.

I know Mr. Kenley and he is a very bad person. He picks on any woman or child he can. A judge (who granted a restaining order against him)said this man should never be in charge of anything. He is a BULLY and pushes anyone around he can. I have no use for this man? He is not the person you think he is. Why did he suddenly lose his job with the City of Riverside? No one seems to know? Check this out and the City of New Lebanon while you are looking.

I have to disagree about what an asset this disgrace of a man would be for our community. He is a outright bully that did nothing but harrass me and my family when living in his communistic community. I wonder what really caused him resigning his position at Riverside. Look it up! I have a restraining order against him. What a great guy! I would not encourage hiring him for any position that is going to give him any power of any kind.

REPORT ABUSE

Why don't any of these folks discuss why he was recalled by special election? I can't find the details on this situation and would like to know, as it speaks to potential ethics issues.

Seems the Clayton Elites are very worried to have new blood break into the click. Craig is well seasoned and can help move Clayton forward. Craig knows how to see new opportunities and network to build cooperation to get things done. Craig will work to increase Clayton's visiability at County and State levels. I will be voting for Kenley !!!
