Bad blogger! Bad!

I haven't been a good blogger. I keep running short on time, and maybe energy, honest. This is really hard work!

As a candidate for the first time I have gained an appreciation for for the energy level office holders who have been doing this for a while. I am excited to see friends like Regenia Bailey, Rod Sullivan, and Lonny Pulkrabek running for reelection. But I do wonder where they find the stamina for another campaign.

I guess you get a second wind, and I have found that having definite goals gives you the energy to knock on one more door or write one more letter. Rod Sullivan, who's been more than generous to me with his advice and support, announced that he will seek another term on the Boad of Supervisors last week. Rod really deserves it, and we really need him.

It's a truism in Iowa City that many people don't realize how many services the County provides--everything from rural law enforcement, social services, SEATS, to parks and road clearance. Anyway, I am glad to see Rod running again, I've learned a great deal from him and we also share strong interests in effective social services, environmental progress, and accessible government. I hope to be able to work with Rod, and the rest of the Supervisors, if I am elected to the Iowa City Council.

Now if I can just figure out how to knock on doors and hold on to Tank the pony dog I'd double my campaign time...
