Frequent candidate

Waiting for me when I got home was an email from a friend complaining that the Trib had once again found a way to dismiss me. She felt I was singled out for a little extra attention in the candidate listing in the Trib.

Most of the candidates had no information about them. Roger was only listed as being a representative. I was described as not only a founder of Let Duluth Vote but as a frequent candidate for public office.

I was relieved to see that this was all they said, for now, because its true and most of the primary voters will be aware of this. What they say in their editorial endorsement will be more important but not necessarily of much consequence.

The few people who will vote are most likely to know exactly who I am and will not abide by the Trib’s editorial recommendation. They’ll make up their own minds.
