It seems a shame that political ads have so much continuous, untrue negativity in them.

I do realize it’s also difficult for non-incumbent candidates to build a positive case for themselves, but they should focus fully in doing so truthfully. I would much more appreciate hearing from all candidates about their qualifications and strengths by presenting their case as to why we should vote for them.

Positive stands based on facts about themselves would serve them and us much better. Candidates should tell us what they have to offer us if elected to our governing bodies and discard the untrue negativity.
