Josh.

Ok you are right about Victoria and its revolting attitudes. Since I had said I support her before my withdrawal, I think she has no vision or a real platform. It seems to me that you are only supporting her based on outside factors than the issues.

JoshLeeR, the best way to answer those criticisms would be to post a list of relevant reasons why you support her. Tell us something positive about her since she hasn't received a fair shake.

I support Chelle Nickerson for Mayor.

And to those of you who are making fun and being ignorant I would just like to make a statement online, (since that's all you people ever do) and just say how embarrassed I am of you who are taking this in as a way to tear down someone's abilities just because of her workplace, extra curricular activities and even looks. It is people like you who make our town seem so revolting to people from other cities. I just think it's sad because all you people with negative comments know that you will NEVER say it to the faces of people who are supportive of seeing a new young face as Mayor. You don't have the guts to go outside your door and protest against anything. You are forever typing away at your little keyboards thinking about how your next comment on a little website might have a decent hint of credibility. For SHAME!

Go Chelle! I'm happy to be a supporter!

Napoleon says Vote for Pedro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me add this too. I do not see fire or passion from the candidate. I would donate money if she had any fire or passion like Obama or Medina.

VBB.

Because I do not see a platform, a program, or solutions.

Writein - may I ask why?

I withdraw my support.

Her campain promise is if she is elected everyone will get a free cup of coffee.

Can you post the quote? I'm curious.

WOW Whats next 13 year old running for president of the United States.
I can just see it now a declaration of Xbox day HAHA .
Not to take anything from this young lady Im sure shes very smart and intelligent but I cant envision a Starbuck city holiday for Victoria I'll just stick my old old Mayor and my cheap folgers coffee instead HAHA at least Im fully awake.But hey as far as the young lady thats the spirit keep on trying who knows whnever you get a little older you may become the best darn Mayor Victoria has ever seen and I really mean that too.

Hey! I want to see her face off with the City Manager and other Council members! Can't be any worse than what we've got now!

Neuter Victoria City Government!

"When there is more people..there is lots of jobs available"......that's not what they are saying in the rust belt & California right now......

lol!
This sounds like a plot to a really bad movie, 23 year old starbucks worker wins election. Funny....and scary at the same time. Credentials?? Grande House Blend does not count

Just because someone likes to drink and have fun doesn't mean they don't have prioties. When Lincoln was President he bought 20 cents worth of coke each month. So who cares if someone likes to drink. Lincoln did a lot and i'm sure Chelle will also do a lot for us. I am just using Lincoln as an example. Now, yes she is young and that means there is youth and spunk to this town. This town honestly what good is there in it? I would love to see downtown with people walking and eating at the restaurants there, i'm sure you would too. As of right now downtown is what? Empty like Yorktown. We want more people here and here to stay. We need more jobs here, and when there is more people there is a lot of jobs availble. we need a better leader, we need someone like Chelle. We need to bring in fresh instead of old processes.

Victoria is notorious for low voter turn out...she could gather up a few friends & actually wind up mayor! LOL

Localgirl....loved the "mayors gone wild" comment...I needed a good laugh!

More than all this, she quotes Karl Marx on her facebook. Do we really want a socialist lending person in office?
Plus I think this is just a big joke to her and her friends. Sorry I am not going to be part of anyone's joke.

Ch.15 would get some great ratings with her presiding over the council. She's starting to win me over. Can't be any worse than Willie. We'd just be swapping Mayors with downtown-is-center-of-the-universe delusions.

from her facebook page
"Chelle Nickerson (831): It just hit me that i made out with someone's mom last nightMon at 11:17am"
real mature there Chelle.

All of you mudslingers~

Most of the folks in office now, or have been in office
have a wild side`

I know lots of them, and lots of things that have gone on thru the years, they just dont have it on facebook

As a native Victorian 65 yrs.

I have not seen many other of our politicians effect
any noticebable changes to our hidden treasure downtown Olde Victoria.

I support NEW blood into the scenario and hopefully it truly will shake up those "old boys"
and sweep them out of their seats`

Sorry Will we went to school together as others

but you have had plenty of time to support rejuvenating downtown Victoria!

I used to work behind the counter of downtown drug store counter, anyone that works behind a service counter can be privvy of much local "news" and goings on`

I served Fay McClaine her daily cup, (she was accused ~sentenced of murder in the 1960s) that woman did not hurt a fly!

Sitting behind a desk of a business does not give one
much exposure to the community,
I say RIGHT ON for our brave little Coffee Lady!

I would like to know what kind of background Ms. Nickerson has that would qualify her to be the Mayor of Victoria. Does she have any idea how city government works? I am not saying she could not be Mayor but if she is going to be a Mayor is she prepared to commit herself to public service? And no matter what you do, you cannot AND will not please all the people.

C'mon Armstrong, gather your entourage...get em' in their wheelchairs so they can go vote for you....hehehe

I think she has a great plan. She is going to get more votes than anyone in this city could ever imagine. There is a movement behind her and the college aged kids and young adults are voting for her by the dozens. Its about time someone stepped up! Good for her.

exresident -

Her Facebook page defines her character without the need for further explanation don't you think? Anyone who would willingly post such repulsive things as she has for public viewing has major character flaws and is uncouth to put it nicely. I have no idea what the others are doing because they do not make a public spectacle of their "activities" for everyone to see. That is their "private life" and it is called that for a reason. Fortunately, good judgment comes with age (at least for most) and she is very young.

Wow, I can't wait until this hits national news and the Crossroad area will have another laughable event on its record. We have X as a location marker from the Branding committee and now we have "Mayors Gone Wild" on facebook.

Yikes, think I'll apply for out of state plates for my truck, so I'm not associated with the stupidity that runs like so much chicken poop around here.

"No it doesn't.

http://www.maniacworld.com/vote-for-n...

I like that pic!

I am just jaded...two party systems can do that to you

I'm hardly a conservative in any sense of the word but I'm torn here. While it's novel to think that a fresh faced 23 year old would inject Victoria with much needed verve I can't imagine the reality of such a thing. Elections, at the end of the day do have to be treated seriously because so much rides on who we elect. I do want someone who has a different and youthful perspective but I want them to have experience also or at the very least a serious work ethic and a capacity to listen and learn.

I will say, however, that observing a persons Facebook page, while provided some enlightenment is not necessarily indicative of what that person does in any other capacity. I act like an ass on my social networks but am quite capable of holding down a stressful job, supporting my kids and all the challenges modern life throws my way. I doubt that would change if I ran for office!

However, if this is some kind of joke then I'll happily support her in my head

Character can be defined as what you do when no one is watching....seeing Chelle's photos of what she will do when she knows people are watching, leaves nothing for the imagination of what she might do when they aren't. I can't speak for lovemybaby, but "her character" probably refers to the many photos of questionable behavior and colorful comments from her friends. Like I said before, taking elections seriously and the leadership of our town, county, state and nation - we need new blood. We need young people who have a passion to represent well, with a heart for our country and wisdom to stand for us all. People who make a career out of politics do nothing but serve themselves. That is character that I question as well.

exresident--your name implies that you don't live here. Why are you so strongly supporting ANYONE? Let alone a party girl that you most likely had never heard of until this morning?

nlj said: "I wonder when the farms are going to start watering crops with Gatorade?"

But it has electrolytes.

I had to check out her Facebook page after I read standamazed's comments and OMG! We really need someone with her character representing Victoria like we need a hole in the head! This has to be a joke!

The whole point was lots of people have facebook pages, but it is a prudent person who watches their content. Realizing that the content of the page represents themselves. My quetion was more in the line of does Victoria want that type of representation for its City? And, exresident...claws? really....is that the pot calling the kettle black. You're funny!

She sounds like a younger version of the Mayor. It makes me think she doesn't follow the city government, especially if she thinks "revitalizing downtown Victoria" is a "fresher approach".

Remember that movie? Idiocracy. It was prophetic.

I wonder when the farms are going to start watering crops with Gatorade?

This is obviously a joke but, look, she's having fun. She will get a few votes, a few laughs and no one is the worse off for it. I don't think it's a serious threat to the Republic. Have you ever been to a (yawn) candidate's forum? If they have a mayoral candidate's forum with this girl and Robin Holy in the mix, hell, it might be halfway interesting.

One thing for sure, you at least have be impressed with her desire to run...and a write in at that.

Too bad that no one did a write in the Truman/Alvarez race. Victoria is screwed with either one of those choices.

She should do a YouTube video and post it on a blog, I’m serious.

That's part of the problem...people don't understand their actions and representations of themselves effect others, as well as becoming an illustration of their worldview. Serious people do have facebook pages, but serious people act respectful to themselves and others. Realizing the world does not revolve around themselves. Life may be fun, but it's not a joke.

She must be doing this as a stunt. Serious people running don't have a facebook page with things like getting drunk and partying all the time.

Vote for Chelle!

standamazed,

That is a very interesting find. I tell my kids to be careful what you post or allow to be posted on the internet because it WILL come back to haunt you!

I agree with politics needing "young blood" as it has been referred. I am against career politicians, but before you cast a vote...please do your research. Check out Chelle's Facebook page - she's into things that don't necessarily represent Victoria....and I quote her profile"Activities:when I am not being the damn sexiest barista in town... I'm usually getting throwed at the bar or partying with my fellow wild child co workers. Other times I'm just chill enjoying some wine with my girls. either way its a party if chelle is involved.Interests:girls girls girls. and booze. and puppies. and sunshine. and girl scout cookies". While you 're there check out her photos - quite interesting. Victoria please take the elections seriously. It is your money, your life - don't waste it.

Way to stand up if you want to make a difference. You have my vote!

I hope the voting booths have it spelled right themselves and don't take spelling lessons from VicAd.

Is her name "Nickerson" or "Dickerson"??? Who edits and proofs this stuff? It says Nickerson in the content and Dickerson under the picture. Which is it?

She's definetly got my vote, it's time we get rid of the old coots and get some young blood in office, heck if a pony-tailed hippie can be mayor why not a shift supervisor.....good luck to you and I personally will tell everyone I know to vote for you.

Even though she's young, sounds like Chelle has a good head on her shoulders and has the right idea about the future of Victoria. Not to mention she's attractive and would make watching city council meetings much more enjoyable. Good Luck Chelle

I support Chelle Nickerson for mayor.
