Brad Lander, who is running for Bill De Blasio’s City Council seat, wants to give OTBKB readers a heads-up on his first piece of campaign mail,
which they are mailing to likely voters in the district this week. 

In fact, you may receive one.

Yes, it’s true: it’s election season again. This time on the local political scene. Once again you’ll be getting loads of snail mail and email. Groan.

As
you’ll see, Lander’s snail mail includes a tear-off survey and asks people to share their
thoughts with Brad. But if you put that piece of mail in the junk mail recycling, you can also answer the survey online, too.

The
goal, says Brad, is to hear what issues matter to people in the district (on
how to respond to the current economic/fiscal crisis, but also on
broader issues). Another goal is to dentify people who are interested in the
campaign.

In addition to the mailing, they’ve got an online presence as well:

— The survey is up at www.bradlander.com/survey
