  Vote Roach 2011!
I went into this year's city council election with the knowledge that it would probably take two or three attempts to have a clear shot at winning a seat. It looks like I was right. I got thumped pretty soundly today, but I accomplished what I originally set out to do - Build the base that will be needed to gain credibility in a town that does not easily elect those who were not born and raised within the city limits.

So thank you to those who supported me this time around. I cannot tell you how much your encouragement sustained me when I looked at the daunting opposition I faced.

See you in two years!

Sorry to hear that Greg, I thought you were one of the two candidates that had any coherent thought on moving the city forward. The rest were pretty bland.
 
"And the world will be better for this,
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable stars!"

Corny as all heck, to be sure, but not without merit. Keep fighting the good fights.

I'm bummed about this, too. But if I'm still around in 2011, you have my vote (again)!
 
At least you tried- I thought you'd do better-- you're "wait until 2011" shows your commitment-- and I congratulate you for that---my suggestion (and this is the way I worked my way up the food chain as an outsider) is see if you can get an appointment to some board or commission---you'll get some exposure and get a better sense of
process---so good luck-- and I mean it sincerely--chbpod
