Run, Lakeitha, run!
February 14, 2009
I took some heat for for encouraging Sonja Henning to run for re-election in the face of election filings from über-establishment candidates Scott Bailey and Pam Knowles. I hadn’t even considered a Draft Lakeitha Elliot movement (thanks change seeker and Terry for hitting me upside the head with the clue-by-four).
At this point, I’m ready to throw my support to a real community candidate, no matter how quixotic the run may (or may not) be. We need somebody at the candidate forums telling it like it is for working families. And you never know, Terry may be right; Knowles and Bailey might just cancel each other out in the voting.
I can’t think of anybody who has a better understanding of the problem, and who is more likely to tell it like it is than Lakeitha.
If you agree, why not leave a comment here to encourage her to run?
Run, Lakeitha, run!
