Yard Signs ! ! ! !
".....so your voice will be heard" is our campaign theme. You, the people and the neighborhoods of the 4th Ward have an important say as to what goes on in this City. A Councilman should be your spokesman. But, good communication only happens when the issues are not just spoken but they are also heard by the other decision-makers and stakeholders. This is an important point that really separates this campaign from the others.
It has been a very humbling experience for me and this campaign to receive the amount of support that it has. I get many people every day going out of their way to ask me how they can help. Wow.
The description on the Masthead above should read "Your NEXT 4th Ward Councilman". Sorry for sounding presumptuous.
I went to the Steak and Burger luncheon yesterday at the Boys and Girls Club of Rochester (at the corner of East Center and 11th Ave - 4th Ward 4th Precinct). What an event ! ! ! Congratulations to Keystone President Awale Osman and 2007 Youth of the Year Dylan Raiche. Both are impressive young men. Also, thanks to all of the singers, dancers, and drummers for the entertainment. This important organization has a $1Million budget for 2008. It is well recognized and supported by the community. Larry Kent and the Boys and Girls Club of Rochester; Be Proud ! Better yet - Be Great !

About Me
My Background is one of an old school local businessman, who believes in making "Civil Service" a part of his life. At one time, the Barlow Corporation had more employees than are currently employed by the City, a larger annual budget than currently used by the City, and more customers in a week than read the Rochester Post-Bulletin. I ran a successful United Way Campaign a few years ago. I helped get the Channel One Food Shelves off the ground (and was recognized as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Minnesotans by the Minnesota JayCees for the effort). I also coordinated much of the last remodel as a Board Member of the Rochester Civic Theater. Recently as I was scouting for a new service activity, it was suggested that I could best serve the people in my community by filing for public office. If I was willing to stick my neck out, I would be able to add some welcome perspective and experience to the Council.
