He served in the city attorney's office, the state Attorney 00:04:03.509 --> 00:04:07.517 General's office. He was elected county attorney two times and served in 00:04:07.550 --> 00:04:10.476 the United States House of Representatives for three terms.

Mr 00:04:17.769 --> 00:04:23.767 Richard Dick Harless, thank you Mr Coleman. I'm truly impressed and 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:29.007 touched here today with to be with some very good friends like reverend 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:34.656 brooks, Lincoln Ragsdale and reverend Kendrick who will follow me. I'm 00:04:34.689 --> 00:04:38.286 touched with the fact that so many friends throughout this community have 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:45.496 responded to this cause. It's a cause for the people I first knew Lincoln 00:04:45.529 --> 00:04:50.656 Ragsdale about 15 years ago when I ran for governor and he and I have been 00:04:50.689 --> 00:04:55.856 associated on many occasions since then. And believe me, he is one of the 00:04:55.889 --> 00:05:02.767 top leaders in this community and to have him associate as a councilman in 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:07.777 this coming city administration means a great deal to phoenix and we ought 00:05:07.810 --> 00:05:10.226 to get out and support him and all the rest of this ticket wholeheartedly 00:05:10.259 --> 00:05:18.259 , when we talk about a better phoenix, we think of not only parks and 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:23.106 recreational facilities and other things, better streets, better services 00:05:23.139 --> 00:05:29.976 , but we think of a healthy community in the way of jobs at the present 00:05:30.009 --> 00:05:34.587 time, there are too many people unemployed, we need basic industry, and by 00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:40.856 that, I mean, textile mills are metal manufacturing mills, all kinds of 00:05:40.889 --> 00:05:45.666 industry that hire people across the board. And when we get these 00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:51.166 industries here, we expect to uh, have equal opportunity for every 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:57.127 individual. So that the man goes in, applies for a job. If he has the 00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.736 ability to perform it, he's going to get it. That means a lot to a healthy 00:06:01.769 --> 00:06:09.176 city and we're going to work for that for you, the people in phoenix. Uh, 00:06:09.209 --> 00:06:13.426 we have a lot of problems and things that we've discussed in the last six 00:06:13.459 --> 00:06:17.916 weeks since we've been in this campaign. But at the, The biggest thing 00:06:17.949 --> 00:06:23.156 that I've run into, I think is that the people are tired of 14 years of 00:06:23.189 --> 00:06:27.406 continuous administration, with no response to the will of the people, 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:32.317 They don't take them into their hearts. What we intend to do is to leave 00:06:32.350 --> 00:06:36.486 our doors open. So anyone, regardless of who you are, can come down to 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:42.036 city hall and discuss their problems and we will then try to solve them. 00:06:42.069 --> 00:06:46.356 We know we're inviting ourselves in for a lot, but as your servants, 00:06:46.389 --> 00:06:52.267 that's what we expect to do because in that way you will have a city 00:06:52.300 --> 00:06:57.596 administration of the people and by the people we ask you to be sure and 00:06:57.629 --> 00:07:02.096 go to the polls tomorrow and vote and get all your neighbors and friends 00:07:02.129 --> 00:07:08.187 to vote, vote for the this ticket, that's going to put the city government 00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:14.096 back in the hands of the people. And when you've done that, we will really 00:07:14.129 --> 00:07:18.627 be indebted to you and we will serve you to the best of our ability and 00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:23.906 thank you very much.
