"May it please the court, I want these people to starve!"

Thanks, it's something I will look back and be glad I at least tried.
If I hadn't run, she would have been unopposed, and there were at least 1,000 people who thought I might be onto something with my ideas.
I'm proud of what we did, even though I lost

I knew I was getting into some shit when I signed up, but I didn't realize how low it would go
Honestly the most surprising part is we are not that ideologically different (I'd put us both on the moderate liberal side of the spectrum), but people are wild
Happy to have made it through in one piece

I’m an open book about the process.
It doesn’t have to be this way and I tried to portray that by running a clean campaign that did no attacking (probably one of the reasons I lost).
At the end of the day, it’s a part time job held by neighbors with day jobs and families.

My biggest problem was that I didn’t have a problem with the things she did, but how she did them.
And that’s a hard nuance to convey without trashing someone.
And I slid the middle line from between D and R to D and D, so I’m sure I got a few R votes, but I would never embrace them fully

Thanks! I’m happy I did it, because otherwise she would have run unopposed.
So if nothing else, I drove conversations and questions that would have otherwise gone without. But it really was like that Andor quote.
I ran a purposefully clean campaign to show it doesn’t have to be ugly, at my loss

Sadly, no.
I’m making the best of it and made some wonderful connections out of it, but I would tell 99.9% of people to skip it.
They came for my kid, they made up lies about me, they tried to present innocent social media posts from 12 years ago as sexual deviance from today.
Would not advise.

The way it should be

Tuesday of this week (I lost, 30/70)
But I was a longshot candidate and got over 1,000 votes which was close to my opponents total last election.
DM me any questions and I’m happy to answer them

I used to be one of you, but then abandoned it for reasons I should probably figure out

They did try and use my BlueSky account against me, so you might not be wrong

Chasing a K shaped market, in the wrong direction.
There are guys out there making electric kei trucks, but I suspect they wanted the fleets, and F-150 likely swaps with a cargo van easier than a maverick

The thing about elections, is that there are more losers than winners.
And that sounds simple, but it’s a much harder square to circle, when you are in the sample size

Normally, you could not pick a better group of people to have a medical emergency near, than the people holding the titles in this room.
These are not normal times, and therefore some of them ran away as fast as possible.

I bet it's a bunch of hot dogs and tacos.

Because they are sandwiches.

Hopefully this sets a precedent that it is known that the current administration makes it a habit to lie on the stand.

-People who forget that batteries, and other forms of energy storage, have existed for centuries

Ok, but who is that on the far right?!

The whole trip was Calgary>Banff>Hollister, CA>SF so we were well equipped.
Tried to make the most out of being in Mountain/Pacific time

We took a gamble flying out of SF instead of San Jose, just to try and see the bridge.
Unfortunately we lost, but did get a pretty good coffee and ube croissant while we waited for the winds to shift (they never did).
Would do it again though. 5 Stars.

Also went to the top of a mountain in Banff, and Lake Louise.
It was very cool, very beautiful and my wife's first foray into the Rockies.

Now that I am back, I can say I went to San Francisco, but only for like 2 hours.
Also unfortunately, it was in the morning, so the bridge was mostly fogged in but we could see part of it and even glimpsed Alcatraz

Because we don't deserve nice things, apparently.
And because we made transit depend on votes, but extra lanes depend on budgetary line items

If anyone has any questions about running in a local election, I'm open to answering some, especially with it being so fresh

Thanks. I'm proud of the campaign I ran and the morality my supporters showed.
There was some serious ugliness out there (one of the reasons I deactivated for a bit) but most people stayed focused and that's pretty great.

Sadly, no.
30%/70%, but we had a record turnout for an almost exclusively local election, with over 30% of eligible voters turning out

Although I did lose my election (30% of the votes for over 1,000 votes, against an incumbent).
I wish the victor nothing but good luck

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
