I have been trying to learn about the 5 candidates that are running for Mayor of the City of Henderson and I must say I am very disappointed. Out of the 5 candidates, there are only 2, Amanda Cyphers and Andy Hafen that have a website that gives any information about who they are, why they are running and why they should be selected as the next Mayor of Henderson.
Not everyone is going to have the opportunity to listen to the 5 Mayoral Candidates in person as to why they should be selected as the next Mayor of our great City of Henderson. Don’t they know many residents of Henderson will do their research online to help them better understand which candidate will be the best person to lead Henderson through this economic turmoil we are facing.
I am really shocked that these candidates don’t have an Internet presence especially after what we witnessed with President Obama connecting through Social Media. Granted it’s a city election but Henderson is the 2nd largest city in Nevada. Having the ability to connect to the residents of Henderson through the Internet is the quickest and cheapest form of communication and it can be done in real time.
I even gave all the candidates an opportunity to share their message on my blog, but so far no one has taken me up on my offer. The sad thing is if you search the name of any one of these 5 candidates, my blog is coming up in the top 10.
I do have to give Amanda Cyphers some credit, not only does she have a website but she has a blog as well. She is making an attempt to connect with the residents of Henderson but the one thing I would like to see more from her on her blog is some meat and potatoes. What are the issues we are facing in Henderson and if she were to be elected, what would be her solutions.
Early voting is only a few days away, I hope to hear from our City of Henderson Mayoral Candidates on the issues and why they should be elected!

Hi There! I was just googling my name and stumbled on this site. I don’t have a messge from you, but happy to give any info you need.

Hello Amanda,
I was hoping to have the candidates contribute an article about themselves, why they are running for Mayor of Henderson, what issues we face and your solutions.
Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks for responding
Now that is cool, I hope she is able and willing to help. Being on the internet is very important.
I can’t believe any candidate wouldn’t have a website. What better way to put your info out there. Austin has a mayoral race coming up, also. I’ll have to check and see who does or doesn’t have a website.
I too greatly benefitted from Amanda Cyphers blog and wish the other candidates had a blog so the public could get to know them on a more personal level. I can’t really get a feel for a candidate just from a website. It is to vague where a blog is more personal.
Hi again! Early voting ends tomorrow (Friday) with the election next Tuesday. My personal email is amandacyphers@cox.net in case anyone has other questions for me. I continually update the blog. It’s been interesting lately!
My Best,
Amanda
