A break from the political wars
I am finally finished with my run for Mayor of Gainesville. I came in second out of five candidates on March 16th and that put me in a runoff with the top vote getter. On April 13th, he scraped by with 6,110 votes to my 6,068 for a 42 vote victory. It was a real heart-breaker because the voter turnout was so low: 16.75%. It was also a hard loss to take because it was such a nasty campaign. I guess that is the reason why so few people want to run for office. But I believe it is important for good people to keep trying. When we bail out of the process, we leave it to the biggest scoundrels to run our cities. And 83% of the registered voters in my city bailed out of the process altogether.
In order to stay involved, I will be putting more time into future campaigns and with helping other good people run. And that means I will not be doing as much window cleaning mentoring in the future. Yes, I will do some, but my city is a higher priority. So, I will likely do more re-blogging of interesting articles and videos. I will make relatively few of my own on this subject. But I will be around.
Don, congratulations on being that close to winning, sounds like you should’ve won, but you did really well to say the least,
1atleast it got your name out there, should get huge returns on your business now
2At least you belive in politics. A ? Don? How do I get ahold of you and ask some specific ?’s about the window cleaning biz? I live here in Utah and there are a ton of window cleaners, and the economy stinks. Are people really paying for window cleaning? Ive cleaned carpets for 25 years and ya cant make $ in the mkt anymore. Way saturated with carpet cleaners.
Thanks Steve mlmstinks@yahoo.com
3Don, I am going to put all my trust in God and start my own little window cleaning business.And let God direct the outcome, my wife and I purchased all the equipment we think we will need. I will keep u posted good bye for now. God Bless Don. Joe and Kim Sierra
