Freman Hendrix Quotations

Wow, just wow. If I expected this to happen, I wouldn't have wasted my time running against him. He's presided over the complete resolution of all the city's problems.

I think it was critical. I think it was significant. I think that it came at an important juncture in this campaign.

It has been a labor of love for me. I have not tired. I am energized when I am around the citizens of Detroit.

My opponent is the king of smoke and mirrors. His budget's been smoke and mirrors. His crime statistics have been smoke and mirrors.

This sounds to me like the ploy of a desperate man who is down in the polls.

Are you ready to get your city back? We're the good guys and we're outworking the bad guys.

Ask yourself ... are you better off today than you were four years ago? I think if you're like most Detroiters you'll say that we're struggling. And I think we need to do better.

This is not his fault; he was not ready. Getting elected and being ready to do the job are two different things.

This election is far from being over. The celebration is far from being ended. And this 21-month journey is very much alive, it is well and the hope for this city -- the promise that we can indeed be a city that we can believe in again -- is on schedule.

This is about who knows how to manage a big-city budget.

It's a direct result of the grassroots campaigning I've been doing; the home meetings, the senior lunches. I've been taking my message directly to voters and it's a message of experience and integrity.

Anytime you talk about the possibility of threats, his car was vandalized as I think many of you reported. We?re very concerned about that and we fully expect the authorities are keenly aware and will be looking into them.

In many ways, this is a tired, kind of outdated strategy that may have had its place in the 1970s and 1980s.

If you want to get a problem solved, the first thing you have to admit is that you have a problem. The city of Detroit is teetering on bankruptcy.

The learning curve that was so steep for my opponent when he came into office caused this situation to be exacerbated beyond what it should have been.
