Vote for David Oh in 13 Months


As a follow-up to a post from last month about David Oh's first fundraiser for the 2011 campaign, I wanted to continue to urge those of you who can vote in Philadelphia to vote for David. At a time when public cynicism and politicians behaving badly are at an all-time high, here is someone who is ripped from the storybooks: earnest, honest, smart, savvy, hard-working, and committed. He works across the aisle, he knows the story of Philadelphia and America, and he wants to contribute to that story as a true public servant.

We have a long slog to go until the November 2011 general elections, and much work to do between now and then. Our reward, if successful, is more long slogs and more work to do. But, David is willing and able, and so am I to support him.

Lee - what is he running for? Was it city councilman at-large? What does that mean and does it concern all of Philadelphia or just one district?

Nicholas, in my zeal to shill for David I failed to provide that important piece of info. Yes, he is running for City Council at Large. "At Large" means he represents the whole city and not any one district. There are 10 districts, so 10 council members with districts; plus 7 at-large council members, of which at least two must come from the minority party (in this case, the R's).

Thanks. This is the kind of basic civics that I'm embarrassed for not knowing, but I'm glad to learn and especially to know I have the chance to vote for such a great candidate.
