Last Tuesday was a Meet-and-Greet for candidates at the Legion.
Of the 22 on the ballot, I believe 18 actually showed up. Pretty good, I suppose.
I was struck by the passion exhbited by most of the candidates.
(Everyone had the opportunity to speak for 5 minutes, and everyone present did so.)
But passion and motivation don't equate with competence - the most enthusiastic amateur surgeon should not engage in professional prractice. There was very little governance experience evident..
We need more than this to tackle the problems facing the community.
So I got up and said my piece. (Second-last too, so I had a chance to hear everyone else.)
It renewed my commitment to run for office.
