I think this is the first time I got unsolicited e-mail from somebody running for an APA office. Here's the text ...
Anyone else get this mail? What do you think of this technique to gather votes for APA office? I can't help but think this is spam; maybe sent with the best of intentions, but still spam. I didn't ask to be put on an APA officer candidate mailing list, and I think the same e-mail might have been sent to hundreds of others.
If I was the only recipient, I'll delete this post.

Hello Daniel,
My name is Bob Hunter, and I am a candidate for APA President-Elect. I have held local, state and national APA offices and have been elected by my colleagues to be a Fellow of the AICP in recognition of my leadership and accomplishments.
I’d like to offer you the opportunity to consider my position statement (hyperlinked at: Bob Hunter’s APA President-Elect Position Paper). For additional information, I encourage you to visit my website – HUNTERFORAPA.COM. If you find that we agree on many issues, please forward my position statement and website information to your APA member colleagues and encourage them to vote for me. You may want to tell them that ballots will be mailed to all APA members on March 12th and are due back to APA by April 16th (firm deadline).
Also, if you have other issues that you believe should be addressed by national APA, I’d like to hear from you -- just email me at isupportbob@email.com. I will be updating my website during the campaign.
The other candidates are D. Siegel and F. Lapp, but I hope I can count on your support during the election process. If you would like more information on how you can actively support my candidacy for APA President-Elect and get the word and information out to other APA members, please call or email me. Together, I believe we can make APA become the widely recognized “go to” source and the “visionaries of the urban form of our cities” that was envisioned when APA was created 25 years ago.
Sincerely,
Bob Hunter
