As the campaigning

for Tuesday's runoff election in Peachtree City entered the home stretch

this week, it appears it's all over but the shouting.

Mayoral candidates

Steve Brown and Gary Rower, along with Post 4 candidates Carol Fritz and

Murray Weed, have had a few extra weeks to get the word out and convince

the electorate they should represent the entire city.

The Citizen

contacted all four candidates Monday, asking why they feel they should

be elected.

Brown said

he has plans to protect the educational system and subdivisions from negative

development and cut-through traffic. He added that he has taken numerous

classes on land planning, zoning, community building and governmental

relations, and he also has "an extensive amount of time" to

help city business since he only works three days a week.

"I have

an excellent working relationship with Councilman (Dan) Tennant and Councilman

(Steve) Rapson and I get along well with council Post 4 candidate Murray

Weed," Brown said. "If Weed and myself are elected, this could

very well be one of the most effective councils to run Peachtree City."

In a brief

reply, Rower said he is comfortable with the information he has shared

with voters during the campaign.

Fritz said

she felt she has already done, or has been working on, many of the initiatives

brought forth by Weed. She also said that having served on council for

four years is important.

"I know

and understand what the job is, and I know it is not a part-time job,"

Fritz said. "I have already made a difference and will continue to

do so."

Weed was the

most detailed of the candidates with his response. He pointed out that

he has shared his 10-point platform with the public and he has experience

as a municipal attorney and former city prosecutor.

As a municipal

attorney, Weed said he was "already participated in all of the tasks

and duties which are required of a city councilperson."

Weed also said

he was committed to "establishing open and responsible dialogue within

the city council and between Peachtree City and other local governments."
