Thanks, Robbie, for your comments. One essential item - where is Thuy's district? Answer - District 20 - follow the link below for a map:
http://www.cityofmadison.com/planning/ald_dist.html Short summary is that the district has the Midvale Heights neighborhood north of the Beltline - the quadrant southwest of the intersection of Mineral Point and Midvale - and some neighborhoods south of the Beltline - Raymond Road area. If you live in the area, you should let Robbie know, or let me know. If you don't see yourself as a candidate, you might be pleasantly surprised how much help you might get. And there are those of us for whom the campaign process is quite familiar who stand ready to help. Even if you never in a million years would run for public office, you should let us know if you live in District 20 because people are working to find a candidate for whom we'll form a campaign. Thanks, all.
