Today, Vancouver city councillor Sam Sullivan's campaign announced they would be holding yet another endorsement event for the Non-Partisan Association mayoral candidate - this time, at the Opus Hotel on September 19. Of course, the fact Mr. Sullivan has received so many props is not a surprise. The man is friendly to a fault and the association's favourite son. But he's also been doing a considerable amount of backroom glad-handing and back-slapping. An example: last Friday, Mr. Sullivan hosted a dinner with association candidates at the same establishment, which is right around the corner from the good councillor's abode. Said dinner had been scheduled before former cabinet minister Christy Clark entered the mayoral race as a team-building exercise. But Mr. Sullivan went ahead with the event anyway, giving him a chance to tell his compelling (and vote-getting) life story. The following is a copy of his campaign's most recent media advisory.
