Regarding: Message: 12 From: "V.L. Freeman" Date: Mon, 09 Dec 2002 19:35:19 -0800 Subject: [Mpls] Third Ward endorsement.....
JLS--There has been a good deal of interest in the topic of the Third Ward council race. Personally, I think Ms. Freeman in her posts revealed a lot of character and class for a candidate for elective office. I can imagine that organizing for the convention was not an easy task. At times the acoustics in the Bottineau Park Neighborhood Center meeting hall were not ideal for those in attendance to hear the message of the various candidates. As a recent unsuccessful candidate for re-election to the NRP Policy Board, I can empathize with Ms. Freeman and others who did not receive the convention endorsement (VLF--" Well folks, the convention is over, and Boy, am I glad. The endorsed candidate is Olin Moore... Way to Go....I lost, but I hope the true meanings and issues that I wanted to convey were let in the hearts of many. I think Olin Moore is a good candidate and will serve both North and Northeast sections well. I fully and whole heartedly support Olin for the job.. "Congrats to you Olin" Vanessa Freeman Hawthorne Neighborhood") JLS--I worked at the credentials table and served as a teller at the 3rd ward convention last evening. I was very impressed by the 3rd ward delegates turnout (and interest from numerous observers) as already commented on by delegate Dyna Sluyter (DS "The turnout was amazing, with something like 74 of the possible 92 delegate seats full. This is a trend we have seen since the DFL's "defeat" in the general election- huge turnouts even at off year DFL events") A question has been posed about the Green Party endorsement process--I look forward to further clarifications from the other parties on the nature of their endorsement processes. I do hope that those DFL candidates who participated in the DFL 3rd ward convention process and who specifically and publicly professed that they would honor the convention endorsement abide by their statements. Will 3rd Ward voters be calling for any organizations to step up in this short election time frame to sponsor candidates debates or other fora to provide an opportunity for 3rd Ward voters to question candidates on the important issues?
