The subject of much frustration and venting.
A three event day.
Earlier I spoke to a group of interested business leaders. The always get together at this time and invited me to discuss my candidacy and later quizzed me about my views.
Lunch was a meeting with some potential donors. We’ll have to see what develops from that.
Tonight I speak to a union to get their opinion of local issues. I’m also sure I’ll hear about Wisconsin and Ohio labor issues of recent fame.
It keeps me moving, even eight months out.
Thank you for running - keep your chin up, do your best and know that, win or lose, you’re doing something important for democracy.
So… how’s the campaign going, JC?
Do people ask you question about issues you can’t possibly influence from a position on the city council – like abortion and gay marriage? I was gonna throw in immigration as well, but I have heard of some cities passing their own “shit on immigrants” laws, so that one is conceivably relevant.
Oh, and thanks, Elendil’s Heir, for the revival and reminder!
Poorly. Or not at all, frankly.
For those of you not following my life closely back in May Lady Chance got this choice from her employer:
- Move to South Carolina
- Lose your job
Because of this I had to move to South Carolina. So I recruited a replacement candidate and resigned my candidacy. Let me tell you that smarts. The day before we got the call the senior D on Council announced her resignation and I was to be appointed to fill the remainder of her term to give me some incumbency.
Some things just aren’t meant to be.
Aw, damn. I’m sorry. That sucks. I hope your wife’s job, and South Carolina, are both even better than you expected.
Ditto.
Well, politically it’s a damn mess. Jim DeMint has this state locked down.
We’ll have to see how the job situation works out to be.
Well, at least that answers the question I asked here.
