My deepest thank you to the voters of Ferndale.
After two terms on the Ferndale City Council I am honored & humbled to have been
elected the new mayor of Ferndale. Despite the cold & wind voters turned out in
higher numbers than usual!
Then began a whirlwind of media coverage that I believe will be very beneficial to the
city. In spite of a state-wide recession in Michigan & economic uncertainty nationwide,
Ferndale is poised to continue its decade-long growth & rejuvenation. We are showing
others how an older suburb in a "rust-belt" state can come alive & be attractive for
businesses & residents.
I could not have managed this successful campaign without your help & support. Hundreds of
people contributed to our victory, giving their time, money, good wishes, & votes. Relatives
contributed from as far away as Florida & Mississippi, & from Maine, South Carolina, & Ohio.
Dozens of volunteers walked the neighborhoods distributing literature & putting up signs.
Nearly 3,600 residents braved the nasty weather to vote.
Now my real work begins, & I pledge to do right by the people who honored me with their support.
These are scary times in our nation, but I believe that following smart growth policies & using
best practices, along with honesty, hard work, inclusion & creativity can lead to success in
making a city a safe, productive, efficient, pleasant & friendly place in which to call home.
With Affection & Appreciation,
Craig Covey
Mayor Elect
