Davidson Endorses Donnalee
In a very low profile announcement yesterday where only a certain few of Davidson's and Lozeau's key Supporters were invited, Donald Davidson arrived at Donnalee Lozeau’s Pearl Street Mayoral Race Headquarters to publicly join her campaign. Donnalee is now officially endorsed by Davidson as his candidate for Mayor.
A short meet and greet was held in front of the office before they headed out of the hot Indian-summer sun and into the A.C. Smiling faces of both Davidson and Lozeau throughout the press conference was evident, you can tell they are mutually happy joining forces.
There were solemn moments when it came time to discuss serious matters affecting the city, but even through the distress, there was an air of enjoyment provided by both of these remarkable Leaders, which is their way to breakthrough and overcome whatever obstacles may stand in their way. Listening to both Donaldson and Lozeau, you get a true feeling for their complete passion and compassion for this city. Donaldson says,
and he believes Donnalee is the one who has the skills to get the city where it needs to be. With Davidson on her team, this can be true. Davidson has an impeccable reputation for budget balancing and City Hall employee harmonics. Serving the city for many years, he has a grand scope of familiarity to popular city issues that he can share with Donnalee. Davidson told supporters and press yesterday that he is,
Donaldson also said,
He proceeds to then tell the story of Jim Tollner, and how he is a good man. Serving on the board of Alderman for fourteen years says that "(Tollner) does have the city at heart"; but Davidson does not agree with Tollner’s approach to the financial issues that are suffocating the city.
Donaldson admits he does not have his votes to ‘just give’ to Donnalee. He stresses to her that she has to earn them. Donnalee understands this but she really has to continue to shine on and show the voters of this city that she has the guns and she is ready to unload!
Donaldson is ready to mentor Lozeau before the city even goes to the voting booths on November 6th. He says,
The only thing that is left is getting her supporters to the polls.

Voters gave Donnalee Lozeau 29% of their votes, finishing her second only to James Tollner with 35%. Donald Davidson came in a strong third at 21%. What does that mean for this city? Ultimately, it means that 36% of Nashua Voters need some real convincing.
Davidson showed us that he has the guts to shut the money-hungry Pennichuck takeover down. His supporters also looked to him to fix the budget; his record of accomplishment clearly shows his prowess in that department. Davidson’s strong opposition to the pending tollbooths and his smart and perceptive government leadership abilities all call out to voters the success of his abilities. However, some consider him an old-timer, which may be why he did not win this primary. We had inclement weather, which may have harbored some of his older supporters from making it to the polls, while other voters are willing to sacrifice his abilities for younger blood.
One thing is for certain, Nashua will not be happy with a close battle. History has shown us repeatedly how our city divides itself. The most disturbing was the dissension of the Nashua northern citizens who after a monumental town-wide argument formed their own town in 1842 and called it Nashville. They remained separated for eleven years before finally rejoining their original kinship. Most recently, we have seen the last four years with Bernie Streeter has been no walk in the park for this city either… One candidate must really take the lead for this city; otherwise, the remaining cast of citizens will make the next four years of Nashua politics a stalemate -- and we all know what that means for progress in Nashua.
