Black Community Speaks Out Against 'Racist' Mailer Targeting Mayor Ed Gainey

What legacy does Ed Gainey leave behind? Recently, Common Sense Change Action distributed a controversial mailer featuring an outdated depiction of a dilapidated building, claiming Gainey wastes funds and damages neighborhoods. Critics argue this misrepresents his achievements since taking office in 2022. Prominent community voices, including Brandi Fisher and State Rep. Aerion Abney, condemned the mailer as racially charged and misleading, asserting it discredits both Gainey and the broader Black community. As voters prepare for the May 20 primary, this controversy intensifies the political landscape.
