The mailer is factually incorrect in several respects and misleading in others.

For one example, the mailer says that the “concerned Creve Coeur Resident “found out who was running against Mr. Caldwell and called her.” Actually this resident had a Kramer sign in his front yard for weeks before the alleged incident.

This mailer was a malicious attempt to influence an election by abusing our cherished freedom of speech. Other concerned residents have come forward to determine if any laws were broken.

Respectfully to all Creve Coeur voters,

David Caldwell, Ward 1 City Council Candidate
