The Answer: "It's irrelevant. Nobody else is running who is addressing the issues properly, and they need to be addressed. Unless somebody else wants to step up and do it, it's a dirty job but it has to be done. My worthy opponent has lived here all his life, and he's done a terrible job. It doesn't take a long time resident to see that. You want him to continue doing a terrible job? I don't. I may not have lived here as long some, but I have to live here too just like the rest of you. That's why I'm running."pbwalker wrote:I have a good friend running for a city council seat outside of TX. He's only lived in the city for a year or so, but it a super sharp guy and knows his stuff. He knows I'm a political nerd, and pinged me regarding one talking point he feels he's losing ground on. It's valid, but he's looking for a good way to address it.
It's the fact that he's essentially a new resident.
How can one counter that point? It's valid and one I'd bring up too if I was running against him. I honestly have no idea how one could counter this aside from going off of existing accomplishments and how you would leverage these successes to benefit the city.
Any thoughts?
