Bundley claims mayoral campaign is being ignored
Hat Tip: Stephen Janis/Baltimore Examiner
Arguing that his second-place finish in 2003 against then-incumbent Martin O’Malley makes him the obvious front-runner for 2007, Bundley said he was being unfairly ignored.
“In 2003, I wasn’t taken seriously when I ran for mayor against a powerful incumbent who had more money,†he said.
“But I got 32 percent of the vote, which means I have a track record that makes me a front-runner,†he said.
The city school administrator, a former principal, took issue with polls that showed him running well behind both City Councilman Keiffer Mitchell Jr. and Mayor Sheila Dixon.
“Many of my voters are younger, between the ages of 18 and 30, and they have cell phones, so I don’t think polls accurately represent where I am in this race,†he said.
