Flint -- Making their final push this weekend before Tuesday's election, Mayor Don Williamson and challenger Dayne Walling reached out Saturday to hundreds of voters.

"We work every day," Williamson said at a raffle hosted by his wife's Flint Township dealership in which the couple gave away thousands of dollars. "We're out in this community all the time. That's how people know who we are."

Meanwhile, Walling packed his day with campaign stops -- all featuring U.S. Rep. Dale E. Kildee, D-Flint, at his side. He stared at a pancake breakfast hosted by UAW Local 599, where he won huge cheers from the crowd.

"There is an incredible coalition of people who have come together in this campaign," Walling told the crowd after introducing about 10 area officials there to support him.This weekend is the candidates' last chance to shore up support, reach out to undecided voters and make sure their networks are ready for Tuesday.

Both have flooded radio and TV with ads, and they spent Saturday hitting home their message with personal attention.

Williamson spent most of his afternoon in the mega lot at Patsy Lou Williamson GMC Buick on Corunna Road, which was packed with an estimated 3,000 people.

In a "Customer Appreciation Cash Giveaway," the Williamsons handed out more than $20,000. Every one who attended also got a piece of campaign literature, and many in the crowd wore pins supporting Williamson's re-election.

"He's giving back to the city. Nobody else is doing that," said James Searcy, 42, of Flint, while waiting for the winning names to be drawn.

He and his wife, Valerie, said they see the streets paved and more police on the streets since Williamson was elected in 2003.

At the raffle, the Williamsons also gave a donation to The Eli Foundation, started in honor of Eli Florence, the Lake Fenton homecoming king who died last month of cancer.

Walling made a more traditional pre-election push Saturday.

He worked the breakfast line at Local 599, where about 300 people came in the first hour, shaking hands and talking policy.

Willie Duncan, first vice chairman for Local 599 retirees, said he believes Walling would bring integrity and compassion to the mayor's office.

"What really impressed me was when I drove through the north end and I saw him going door to door shaking people's hands," Duncan said.

Walling's busy Saturday then took him to the Flint Farmers' Market, door to door talking to voters near Mott Community College and to local sports bars to meet people during the Michigan-Michigan State football game.

It's not over yet.

Combined, the two candidates plan to visit more than a dozen predominantly black churches today.
