Leave behind the job titles

People in campaigns love to throw out titles. “I've led this initiative. I've been the head of that organization.” But voters deserve to know more about what makes me tick, who I am, and what qualifies me to lead Duluth. Hopefully through reading this blog, it will become fairly obvious that I have the kinds of experiences that have prepared me to help run a city, instead of a resume padded with fancy titles. Voters ought to clearly see which candidates have actual experience in the types of tasks they’ll be asked to work on as a city councilor. You wouldn’t expect a welder to know anything about advertising, for example. So why do some candidates act like they’re ready to be councilors no matter how light their experience is, or how unrelated it is to sitting on the city council? So click back for a series of posts I’ll be writing here, in the hopes of allowing you all to know who I am, beyond billboards and bumper stickers. And hey, if you still don’t think I’m the right person for the job, that’s fine. Even if I’m not elected, I’ll go on serving this community in all sorts of ways.
