VOTE FOR ME! (I just wanted to say that. I need to make a bumper sticker next time!)
Well, at this point in time, last I saw, I have over 3000 votes. But the current mayor, and his other two incumbents, have over 4k. Then a running mate, he is above me by a couple hundred (and he was backed by a group and also had his pic and ads in the Placer Herald, I didn't do all that) and then the other two running mates below me. I'm excited! I was told from Day 1 that the current incumbents would win because they are so entrenched in the City. They have been part of the City Council for like a combined 50 years!! I really thought the City would have wanted fresh faces so that we newbies would have dominated the polls. However, we did dilute the votes pretty good. I learned a lot! We'll see where the current leaders take the City with this terrible economy and the terrible commercial vacancies all around town. Businesses closing. Roseville sucking up our customer base with the Galleria. How can Rocklin compete with that in our backyard?? That would have been my challenge being on the Council. It would have been interesting.
If I choose to do it again, I can in two years when the other two seats become available. I think I could have a better chance because A, I know what to expect now, and B, I won't confuse those who ARE planning to vote for me by throwing a potential move in the middle. ha!
