[February 20, 2025]
Dear Editor:
As we approach the Primary Election on February 25, 2025, I would
ask the voters of the City of Lincoln to look at the record of
incumbent Mayor Tracy Welch. He became Mayor at a very difficult
time in our history—the Covid-19 pandemic. Since that time, he has
never stopped working with dedication and persistent effort to
improve our City in numerous ways. He is also an innovative thinker
who consistently examines the issues facing the City and works to
find solutions to problems while also seeking to improve the quality
of life for our residents. He also works to make our City a
welcoming place for visitors, new residents and new businesses.
He works well with those of us who are also privileged to serve as
elected officials as well as the Chiefs, department heads and other
City employees, other units of government and outside vendors. Team
effort is an important component of success and Mayor Welch has
repeatedly demonstrated the willingness to seek input from others
while seeking solutions to problems and developing plans for future
projects.

You may have read or heard various allegations
leveled against Mayor Welch from another mayoral candidate who is
also a litigant in a pending legal matter against the City. As
someone who, as an elected official has witnessed first-hand, the
events and was present during the period in which these alleged
misdeeds occurred, I can say unequivocally that these accusations
are simply not accurate. It is unfortunate that someone would make
such allegations when the record clearly indicates their inaccuracy.
Election Day is only a few days from now. Please remember to vote to
re-elect Mayor Tracy Welch to continue the good work he has been
doing for us all.
Respectfully Submitted,
Charles N. (Chuck) Conzo |
