Minneapolis resident into local political affairs, and now a council candidate in Ward 11. Not much to see here, yet. Maybe. Former local-music reviewer, magazine editor. Current nightshift LPN.
`The other 9': 3 hardcore returnees would welcome. I think Payne and Osman, too. 3 vacated. Don't Say Aurin.

Sincerely, not sarcastically, I thought LG learned that so much is with the mayor now. I believe she did enjoy addressing issues, became a little frustrated with the change. You'd know more, but if true, E.S. has a built-in out. Lovely stuff.

Of course, Minneapolis politics is my Roman Empire, so I was happy to give Cam my thoughts on "Strong Mayor"... full quote I provided below:

Good work. (I believe a tape becomes public after, but I presume he was wanting real-time in voting hours.) Thanks for upgrading and traveling.

Where can one find this? I admit, just morbidly curious about my 2nds in W11. Thanks.

I learned first-hand last day of filing is crazy close to first day of EV. Low W11 was a relief to me, not that it really mattered to rout, but even knowing it was near 10% it was hard not to feel it was even more over than it was already. Lesson learned. Be early for many good reasons.

I'll be under $4, but Corey Ryan Vest is gonna be very hard to beat. And for all I know, he petitioned to file.

Devils's adv. Worst old shit pinned to Rondo/Kroll era. Vibe is out there MPD on upswing. Easy for gen pop to shift MPD barfs to `ACAB supermajority.' `Complete control'...as if he goes to 5 roll calls each am. O'Hara popular w/ many. Peace out, DB. Not trying to break our temp ceasefire. ;]

Didn't this Ward re-line more in her favor, making Yusra comp outdated (and a challenge for Madore)?

Isn't that a Daft Punk smash hit. `Wake up all night to go pee pee.'

Merely FYI, not because I care too much personally, but I just learned that J-Mo is ON the print version mailed. Someone I know received. Why not this e-list?

I admit I've campaigned on efficient spending and what I feel could be some easy, effective streamlining, but THIS category would be about last on my list.

Exact wording was `Jamison Censorhip $tarts Here.'' I sense a pattern. This has apparently been long ongoing, and some J. endorsements may have brought the ruckus because this is so wildly disproportionate to his own campaign foci. Not good.

Thank you, David. No. Indeed not me. (Extreme doubtful M.D.) Sadly, on Monday I alerted J to a variation of this sign theme, 12-feet up a utility pole near Bossen/57+28th. Photo available, but I'd rather not promo. Been rampant J. sign theft as well (turning into weird mini billboards it seems).

I was very briefly on HPDL. Couldn't hang, probably d/t night shift, or advisory duties. Me not them. The game seems sooo much more involved, complex, big $$, exposure risk. New media no joy for olds. Can't just put your familiar face on some lit and watch the votes roll in on your name IQ.

Forementioned 40th and 4th was the second I've seen. Also one near the 35W overpass near Cub in Windom South. Are they all in MPRB D5? Cermak has a few official camp signs sprinkled here and there. (Mostly freeway ramps, but signs don't vote, and neither do ramps.)
