He's got my vote.

As for business interests:  it has to be case-by-case.  I'm not into blindly voting in every corporate tool that comes down the pike.  But I am for folks who've demonstrated that their business(es) exist in part to make their home city a better place. 

The folks who run their businesses solely for the betterment of their own bottom lines -- while perfectly within the way we like to define "doing business" -- will not get my vote for anything. They have nothing good to offer the public interest.

I think it is outstanding when people who post/participate in here actually try to make a difference by running for office. Sgrizzle comes to mind.

I am going to run for office soon. I just need to find one that pays a whole lot or has opportunities for making some extra money from my insider knowledge.

Boy, the things I could say in response to that. Cheesy

I forgot to add spouses of posters/participants of TNF.

I like the fact that his website has being on the Tulsa Now board member as one of his accomplishments.

Yeah, but luckily Blake didn't say "Hey, there are already two very well funded party candidates, let make it a three way!"

Rough days...

Blake will likely have no issue in the primaries and put Maria down in the general, unless she pulls some big $$$ which she has done in the past.

What accomplishments does Maria have to go back to her base and say: "Look what I did!"?

None that I'm aware of.  I think most D-4 constituents would agree.  Last time I saw her was when she came to a Lortondale or Hoover meeting when she was campaigning.

The fact that you took those two on, despite knowing how well funded they were, means a lot in my mind.

I've seen her at a couple of events. Her behavior was not professional either time.

I've heard her husband is even worse.

i have high hopes for him but those are out the door if it is shown he takes money from the CoC PAC or other crony PACs....or gets campaign HQ donated to him from the crony real estate bloc.

Blake, you have a fresh perspective, just don't become a stoogy for the midtown elite....that didn't work out too well for the last stoogy.

I hope Liz Wright runs again....she could bounce the wayward Dora out in the primary.
