Topic: election news
I am in the process of building my new professional website, joshgoodin.com. It will be my political/campaign site. Sure, I lost the PCO election last month but that won't stop me from getting elected to _____ in the future! I learned something from this last election, but I'm not sure what yet. Moving forward, I am working on a ballot initiative for next year's election. I am also planning on a run for school board in '09, followed by a Congressional run in '010. My political stock is rising, and the establishment has no idea! Today I furthered my agenda by walking in Yelm's parade as a supporter of Randi Becker for state senate. Heather backs her, and I do too. Only the second candidate for any office (besides myself) that I have ever been able to get behind. Working with Randi will give me valuable campaign experience, as well as give me a chance to get to know a few local politicians and put my name out there. I am also working on building a coalition with this year's losers for the Congressional primary to build support (and a campaign team) for my '010 run. John Orlinski, in an email, says it's best to start early. He filed just before the deadline, then had a series of personal issues to deal with that derailed his campaign somewhat. But he got my vote! I haven't mastered politics yet, but I'm learning the basics and giving myself plenty of time and opportunities to practice.
