And, like her most seasoned political operator, Brian "Yellowman" Audinett, Mortis urged her opponents to run a clean campaign:
Dr. Nelma Mortis, UDP Mayoral Candidate
"I came in with this notion that politics doesn't have to be dirty. That is one of the reasons why it doesn't attract the better people. Because people are afraid to link with the negative connotation that it has."
"I came in with the premise that we need to change that. I'm not saying that it will be totally changed. But we don't have to be mudslinging and damaging each other's reputation for a win. People know when they are being led and the dynamics of our social environment has changed."
"People are more informed and they know what they want. They know what their rights are. So there is no need for us to be damaging each other to get to the top. It doesn't make any sense to me."
