Dayton City Commissioner Darryl Fairchild asks President Donald Trump to "do something" or do not come to Dayton

President Donald J. Trump

Dear President Trump,

Before visiting Dayton, Ohio, you need to know something about us. We value people who clearly and consistently say what they mean - and more importantly, do what they say.

As a city commissioner, I had the privilege of being on the stage as we prayed and honored those who were killed on Sunday morning. You may have heard that the crowd became impatient listening to long statements from elected officials. The crowd's message was, and is, clear: Do Something!

You can do something today. You can demand that Congress put legislation on your desk mandating universal background checks, limiting magazine sizes, and expanding "red-flag laws." You can announce this demand here in Dayton.

And even while pushing Congress to do its part, you can begin to use the power of the Executive Branch to promote technologies and practices within the gun industry that will save lives. You can join mayors and police chiefs across America (including our mayor in Dayton) who are promoting state-of-the-art locks and other products that will prevent gun theft, suicides and the use of guns by unauthorized shooters. Some of those products are available now, while others will need significant federal R&D funding.

The first step is to hold a federal Gun Safety Tech Expo in Washington DC -- a large-scale version of the event organized earlier this year by public officials and law enforcement leaders in Wisconsin. You can announce the date here in Dayton.

We do not want to hear empty words. We want action! If you are not prepared to do something real, do not waste our time. Do not come to Dayton, Ohio.

Sincerely,
Darryl Fairchild
Dayton City Commissioner

SPECIAL ELECTION - May 8, 2018

The resignation of Commissioner Joey William necessitates a special election. This election will be on May 8th! Darryl Fairchild is the only candidate that is known by voters, has a clear vision, a common sense plan, and is prepared to serve on day 1!

He asks for your support and vote on May 8th!

Fairchild for Dayton City Commission

A life-long Dayton resident and a leader who has advocated for the people of Dayton for decades, Darryl Fairchild knows that as a city we can do better. But improvements and the needed realignment of priorities require the right kind of leader. Darryl Fairchild is such a leader.

Darryl Fairchild knows Dayton intimately--its streets, its buildings, its sectors and, especially, its people. And he knows that our neighborhoods have been ignored for far too long.  As a City Commissioner, he will focus on improving our neighborhoods, ensuring that they get the attention they both need and deserve.  He will make sure that economic development downtown does not overshadow the need for improvements in our neighborhoods and that public money expended benefits all Daytonians, not just those of a higher income bracket. He will make sure that the elimination of blighted, abandoned properties becomes a higher priority, that more resources are devoted to programs for our city's youth, and that the alternative economy models growing in popularity in other U.S. cities are fully explored and considered in Dayton. 

A respected and experienced community leader, Fairchild will work hard to create jobs and make our neighborhoods places where people are proud to live and work and raise a family.

He asks for your support and your vote on May 8th.
