Letterbox: Dear Barbara R., tried to reply to your email here earlier but got a tag error. Who filed for council has been announced, but will post it.

Thanks for sending the list to that point and making it a point to tell me who were the incumbents. It really doesn't matter that much to me who the incumbents are. I will be voting for who I think is the best choice for the city given the presented options. (The support of Chris Gaines and others as candidates received quite the reaction from you and one other.) (Are you the same "Barb" from a year ago?). Here is who filed to run for city council. (There is still time for the rest of my candidates, but they would need to be write in candidates now.)

Place 1, William Gordon and Bob Townsend Place. 2, John DeMattia and Mark Solomon. Place 3, Scott Dunn and Darrell Day (update, Darrell Day decided not to run). Place 4, Laura Maczka and Karl Voigtsberger. Place 5, Dennis Stewart and Kendal Hartley. Place 6, Steve Mitchell and Joe Mounger (Mounger's petition was submitted w/o enough signatures, so he won't appear listed on the ballot and is not running). Place 7, Amir Omar, Diana Clawson, and Alan North.

I'm hoping Chris Gaines will file to run. I think he would file in place three or if there is no one doing anything anymore in six, then six.

Everyone who matters has heard of him.

As in, three thirty in the morning.

Or, six o'clock in the evening. Momma doesn't know she's leaving.

Oh, it'll never happen. Only one normal person has filed to run so far that I know of. Most all the normal people won't run now.


I hope if Chris does run, he's still rocking his soul patch on his chin.

If he doesn't run, Will should run, at least in place six. Or Zoolander should run. As the last resort, maybe Mitt. Maybe (but only if he doesn't try to pretend that his health insurance plan was completely different and only if he goes back to not being a fundamentalist, like he wasn't before). And as the last, last result, Billy can run. But only in place three and only if Chris doesn't run.

I LOVE YOU CHRIS!!!! (I think he smiled at me! Did you see that! >Melt<.... <3)

I HEART YOU CHRIS!!! I DOUBLE FREAKING RAINBOW HEART YOU, CHRIS!!!! AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS!!!!
