Our Mayor is alright

I like her. She called me a couple of weeks ago and said that she was offering a meeting and an introduction to each of the City Council candidates. Our sit down was cordial and brief, and she came across as someone with good common sense, someone who would be easy to work with. If I am fortunate enough to win the voters’ trust next month, I have confidence that Sherry would listen to their thoughts and concerns, and do her best to act on them. Speaking of winning, I was running some numbers this morning and I’m really not that much of a long shot. If I recall correctly, I got about 38% of the vote last time. I had never run for anything, not even dogcatcher, before then. That election in 2020 had a huge turnout, almost entirely because of the Mayor’s race, which people had very strong feelings about. This time the Mayor is unopposed. So, if the turnout drops back down to the average, and if I can hang on every vote I got last time, plus pick up a few more, I’ll win. It’s not going to be easy, and I’ll take all the help I can get, but I’ll keep slugging.
