succeed, don't have the common sense to quit?
Of course, you understand that this was said in the friendliest way
possible. Common sense might have told you to quit, but as your story
shows, repeated attempts increase your name recognition.
I was starting to get name recognition around the 6th or 7th
campaign, then I got married, took my wife's name and had to start
over from scratch.
Sounds like you got your priorities right to me. I wonder if you
couldn't have run under your old name, or if people would just find
that weird?
Most serious candidates raise at least $100,000, much of which comes
from special interests; developers, realtors, city employees, etc.
The job pays $12,000 a year but you have control over a budget of
554 MILLION bucks, for a city of 80,000!
I'm running because I want to oppose that system and give residents
a voice in how those millions are spent with a virtual town hall
forum on the city website, for transparency, and to hold city
officials accountable.
You sound like the kind of guy I might just vote for, name recognition
or not!
Dave
