It's being reported over at Worcesteria that formah WooTown School Committee Membah Joe O'Brien may be considering a run for Mayor of WooTown....if this does happen then District 4 would have two viable candidates running for city wide City Councilor At Large in the next election, Grace Ross being the other candidate.
Grace & Joe make me look like Attila the Hun when it comes to politics....but it is interesting to possibly have two viable candidates from D4 running for city wide office in WooTown...even more interesting to note is that there still remains no one from within the Hispanic community in D4 or other WooTown urban Districts coming forward to run for political office......WooTown may be the 2nd largest city in New England but it is still woefully lacking in political leadership from within the Hispanic community and for that matter other minority groups within WooTown.
I have always respected the fact that Joe O'Brien has elected to live in Main South and be part of the effort necessary to make this part of WooTown better....it is not the safe route that many within WooTown leadership positions have taken.
It would be very interesting to see three from D4 sitting on the WooTown City Council - Haller, Ross & O'Brien.....and even tho Joe is aligned with the WooTown political bourgeois this would represent a major shift in leadership for WooTown and in my opinion be a very positive one for it.
Again, I am probably far to the middle of two of these candidates politically but as far as I am concerned it is a start and hopefully this will encourage more from within D4 to get involved politically and especially some nuevo blood!
The last thing we need is a Haller - Simonds III
