“Gets it. Gets it done.”
Anything about Jefferson Smith’s campaign motto sound familiar? Put it alongside the slogan that Sho Dozono (Sam Adams’ opponent for mayor) touted in 2008 and it all comes together.
Thanks for the tip, Carl!

“Donozo” (twice)?
Yipes. Fixed.
whoops!
Darlene Hooley as well. This line gets it. And gets around.
I believe a fellow Jefferson Smith campaign volunteer (can’t remember who) said that. Lots of folks liked it, so it became a slogan.
I guaran-fucking-tee they stole that from somewhere. Because it sucks.
It’s not bad, better than the slogan of my aborted mayoral campaign, “Drink 54 40s and Fight!”
I see TeamJ also copied the slogan “for mayor.”
And where did Sho get it? Norm Bergeron, Commercial Electrician in Maine.

And Bergeron? The Cedar Cottage-Dickens-Kingsway Residents Association. Of course, theirs was a little more racy: “gets it, gets it done, & gets it on”.

And them? The rocking song from In The Ayer.
“Chloroplast gets it gets it done”

It’s a generic campaign slogan. It’s like Brady saying “Fresh Start” or Hales “Making Portland Great.”
Reuse, recycle. Jeff Smith: the environmentalist’s choice for Portland mayor.
And that is new because?
