Challenger: The mayor claims she has vindicated those who supported her in the last election by fulfilling her promise to increase employment opportunities in our city, citing the 8 percent increase in the number of jobs in the city since she took office. But during her administration, the national government relocated an office to our city, bringing along nearly the entire staff from the outside. The 8 percent increase merely represents the jobs held by these newcomers. Mayor: Clearly my opponent does not dispute the employment statistics. The unemployed voters in this city want jobs. The 8 percent increase in the number of jobs during my term exceeds that of any of my predecessors. As a response to the challenger, the mayor's answer is flawed in that it ['does not consider whether the number of unemployed persons within the city represents more than 8 percent of the eligible voters', 'explicitly attributes to the challenger beliefs that the challenger has neither asserted nor implied', "fails to address the challenger's objection that the 8 percent increase did not result in an increase in job availability for those who lived in the city at the time of the last election", 'takes for granted that those who supported the mayor in the last election believed job availability to be a significant city issue']
