Below is the back of a recent mailer by the Henricks campaign. It’s hilarious to call Dan Brady MAGA when Democrats just scored an historic low approval rating! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/03/16/democrats-record-low-favorability-republicans-trump/82471412007/
What is an assault weapon Cody?
Since pregnancy isn’t a disease, stopping one isn’t healthcare. If you agree Cody will not be representing you. Does he know the local Planned Parenthood office is going out of business?
Protecting people of color from what? Is Bloomington full of discrimination?
Marriage Equality is a Bloomington City government issue?
Same goes for compensation of teachers. The local firefighters negotiate with the City for new contracts, those talks have been amicable for many years.
Is Cody planning to make everything more expensive by increasing the local minimum wage? Maybe he doesn’t know paying people more increases prices which defeats the purpose of raising it!

.
Obviously Cody would be a divisive mayor. Imagine what he teaches kids at Olympia. Parents should check. Obviously Cody doesn’t think waste, fraud, and abuse need monitored when spending tax dollars.
If you don’t agree with anything Hendricks says, your opinion will be ignored. Bloomington deserves better than a far left propagandist. If you don’t bother to vote the election will be decided by the radicals who are voting.
Cody is the latest version of the People’s First campaign Jackie Gunderson and Jenn Carrillo ran. Just say no.

Like I have stated before Cody Hendricks is a school teacher. His salary and pension is paid by the outrageous house taxes that all of us homeowners have to pay. Do you think that in his role as mayor he will have any inclination to find a way to lower our real estate taxes. I don’t think so.
Don’t vote for Cody Hendricks for mayor!!
*gulp* too late. . .
Early voting is intended to do this! Stop it.
Always looking out for us, Diane!
Dan Brady is former govt and Mboka works at a public university; they’re all getting paid by taxpayers one way or another
I expect nothing less from Cody, who lacks even a speck of honesty or ntegrity.
Examples?
Start with platitudes. Never specifics.
If you think this about Cody you clearly don’t know him at all. He is always honest and has a lot of integrity.
As long as you agree with him.
He’s great at spending other people’s money. No thanks. We’ve had enough tax and spend liberals to last a lifetime.
You’re ridiculous and crazy!
Facts difficultly?
In contrast:
* Hendrix does not support a real woman’s right to be a woman without mentally ill men pretending to be women and invading their spaces. People like Hendrix pick and choose, their support for women is per Hendrix terms, not theirs. To Hendrix, some women have rights in some areas but all women do not have rights in other areas. The commie ideals that Hendrix follows is seriously flawed.
* Hendrix supports discrimination by singling out groups that are not white. Interesting how some white people like Hendrix speak of how bad white people are yet this white person still wants the power over all people. Hendrix ought to be out campaigning for people of color rather than running himself if he really believed this stuff. According to Hendrix views of white people, there’s no reason to trust him cause he’s still white.
* What the hell is marriage equality? Same sex marriages have been accepted for years. What’s his beef here?
* Hendrix evidently thinks that in the right to self defense, a six shooter will be sufficient when in the middle of the night if several people break into your house with unknown number of people and nefarious intentions six shots will be enough. Not to mention night time vision being a challenge. No womens rights to adequately protect themselves or their families here. Then the assailants count six shots and too bad so sad, it’s over for self defense. The assailants win. Someone is robbed, sexually assaulted or worse.
* Compensation and minimum wage are the direct results of monetary policy rather than that of business owners. If Hendrix had a functioning brain, he could realize this. Wage increases equal price increases and fuels more inflation. This dude is a real idiot and it’s too bad people like him are involved in the education of our children of which itself is quite dismal.
Dan Brady voted no on same-sex marriage and most liberal people think that’s bad. What’s the confusion on that one?
Liberals are a tiny group. Dan knows progressives never stop redefining culture. They didn’t stop here or anywhere
Gay people should be able to marry each other. It’s science, nobody chose to be gay.
They are, there is no issue
Jacks Daniel didn’t really do his research, he just vented. It’s okay to express your feelings, bud! We accept you!
Bloomington/Normal is in a very sad place when people like this guy Hendrix ( Is this the sicko that gives boys girls cloths in school?) even have a platform for their Marxist agenda much less a shot at being mayor!!
There are two sexes. Period. Marriage is a sacrament between a man and a women….both being natural people not freaks cross dressing. Abortion in NOT healthcare….it’s an industry. So is race baiting. The only people that benefit from all this racial crap is the grifting race baiters. And guns don’t kill people…..no bail and repeatedly released criminals do.
This sick twisted leftist agenda has to be ended!!!!!
Don’t forget you live in Bloomington-Normal. Hendricks has a very good shot at becoming mayor. Normal already has a mayor that’s gay. Look who is running against him. Look at the losers who are and have been mayor in both towns and the losers who have been on the councils. Only egomaniacs run for these posts because they want to be recognized around town not to serve the community. Renner will rally the IWU Chicago types along with the local societal malcontents and any local educators. The possibility is very real Cody and his buddies will have a party to end all parties at The Bistro on election night. Then you’ll know for sure BN is truly “sicko” and no longer redeemable.
Seems like you’ve really got it out for Cody. He lives rent free in your head.
I oppose all who make up their own rules. Cody still has a secret that will be revealed soon
Why not reveal now? People are voting.
Because I’m giving the people who should do that job 1 more opportunity
You either don’t have anything, or you’re going to reveal something we all know.
“The secret is, and brace yourself: he’s gay!”
Not even close
Come on, Diane, you’ve got to start letting my comments through. At the end of the day, we are like Batman and Joker. I could be the voice of the opposition! It’s your website with your viewers, you have all the cards, let me talk!!!
Ready with delete again!
Oh, you tease. Can you let the big comment you deleted go through? It took me SO LONG to type it!!
No
GANA I doubt anyone has it “out” for Cody….what I’VE got it “out” for are people supporting policies that are antithesis to decent society and undermine the societal Judeo-Christian values our country and constitution were founded on.
Diane, just let me have it! Just that ONE COMMENT!! Show everyone that you aren’t afraid of opinions, heck you can disagree with me and I won’t even argue!
Arguing with the clueless is a waste of my time!
No research needed towny. Just common sense of which you don’t seem to have much of.
Cody will finish the Mayors race in 2nd Place. Calling it now.
