Well, you knew it would happen sooner or later — a blogger running for public office — but I didn’t think it would happen across the mountains in Richland, WA.
Yep… you read that right. Complete with PDC filings (coming soon). I am officially running for Richland City Council. Butterflies in my stomach and all. Needless to say I didn’t sleep well last night.
I’m not a reluctant candidate. I always figured I would run for something besides ‘Internet loudmouth’ someday. But I wasn’t exactly expecting to announce a run for anything today!
That’s Jim McCabe, proprietor of McCranium, declaring his write-in campaign for Richland city council, after Mayor Bob Welch’s surprise announcement that he will be stepping down… shortly after his reelection. (Welch is running unopposed this November.)
I hope that when Jim becomes a powerful politician, he remembers us little folk. And buys us drinks.
Hmmmm…….stepping down shortly afer being re-elected? Veddy eeeenterrresting……Okay, I’m sure Welch is resigning/retiring for perfectly legitimate reasons, but hey, who knows?
Best of luck to McCabe.
I wish him the best as well. Have enjoyed his blog and comments around the blogosphere.
Roger Rabbit isn’t running FOR anything! Roger Rabbit is running FROM …
dogs
trucks
bicycles
skateboards
process servers
GOP assassins
Mrs. Rabbit
CIA agents
falcons
eagles
Dogs are good for nothing! All dogs should be euthanized! Starting with Jane Balogh’s dog!
