Dear Friend,

We did it! We have made it over the first hurdle. Michael is on the ballot.

After a long five week process of going door to door in the third district collecting petition signatures, Michael submitted 1,150 signatures almost triple the required amount of 412. He submitted the highest number of signatures in his race. Michael is feeling even more determined and confident that he is going to win this race and become the next Councilman for the Third District.

The next hurdle is to win the Primary on September 13, 2011. Michael is a hard worker and always puts one hundred percent into all that he does. The Qualities that made him the success he is today will no doubt lead him to victory. However, he needs to have the necessary funding to be competitive with his running mates. These funds will enable Michael to purchase the necessary tools to deliver his message to the people. If we do not win the Primary, Michael will not be in the general election in November. Therefore, it is crucial that he continues to raise funds to maintain his competitive status. Any amount that you can contribute is greatly appreciated and will be put toward achieving his goal and delivering his message.

We all want to see Yonkers return to the great city it once was. We need to have an honest and hard working person with a strong character and values representing us not another career politician. We all know that Michael is that man. We thank you for your continued support. It is because of you and your support Michael will be victorious in September.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

On May 23, 2011 the Democratic Party held their convention. I was not the party choice for nomination however, I am not giving up. What I have experienced over the past few months has made it crystal clear that we cannot succumb to politics as usual in Yonkers.

I am determined to follow this through to victory in September. The people of the 3^rd District need a real voice to represent them and I will not let them down. We have all had enough of the same names, same games, and NO results that have plagued Yonkers for decades.

I am not a politician and I do not participate in the political games. My only goal is to repair the damage that was caused by decades of politics as usual, mismanagement of funds, and frivolous spending. I know with my business experience over 40 years of experience, I am the man for this job. I can and will repair Yonkers to the “City of Gracious Living” it once was.

The next phase in the process is collecting petition signatures in the 3^rd District to ensure that my name is on the ballot and the people of the 3^rd District have a REAL choice to be represented by someone with REAL values and a REAL understanding of what it takes to run a successful corporation and most importantly a REAL every day working person and tax payer just like you.

You have my word I will not let you down but I cannot do this alone I need your help.

Petitions begin June 7^th if you would like to help please contact me at

michaelrotanelli@yahoo.com.

Thank you,

Michael Rotanelli

Thank You !!

I would like to thank everyone that came out to support me on Thursday night. All of your help made the event a huge success.

The night was overwhelming and I was truly touched by all the kind words of encouragement. With all of you behind me I am confident that I can and will succeed!

Michael Rotanelli is a candidate who is currently running in the City of Yonkers, Third Council District Race. He was born in Bronx, NY. Soon after, he moved to Kimball Ave in Yonkers, NY and was happily raised in the City of Gracious Living. He proudly attended Yonkers Schools. Michael graduated from Lincoln High School and since graduation he has been passionately involved in the Yonkers Community. From an early age he worked hard to establish his imprint in Yonkers.

From the age of 18 he has been an innovator. He owned and operated a service station up until the time he opened his current business, Transit Towing. His immediate success was not enough. He was eager to give back to the city he loves. He accomplished this by approaching elected officials at a very young age, to begin a towing program. This program, now known as the impound towing program has been the model that Yonkers has used since Michael designed it. His originality has not stopped. He has always advocated for the small business owners of Yonkers because he understands business and building a prosperous future. He has networked with members of the community, helping, advising and mentoring other business owners. He mentored other prominent Towing Companies who have, since being an apprentice to him, gone on to establish their own companies. Though he taught them so well that they are now competitors, he maintains his business ethics and personal values to work with all competitors for the betterment of the Yonkers community.

His contributions to the City of Yonkers are lengthy and meaningful. He has worked tirelessly to improve our quality of life and future prospects. He continues to this day advising and helping the constituents in his own way. He is a constant supporter of Preventing Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, Breast Cancer and other philanthropies.

To meet Michael is to realize that he has the potential to get the job done. He plans on utilizing the 3rd Council District vote, not only to empower the 3rd District, but to also uplift Yonkers as a whole restoring its reputation to the city of gracious living. A time when families lived happily and graciously, as they worked and raised families safely and prosperously.
