Hello Minneapolis Folks: Congratulations to Don Samuels and the amazing group of volunteers that helped him win this election. I encouraged Don. I also told him I would be staying out of the race if Olin Moore made it through the primary. I know this does not sound like political courage but I would have supported either on of the Third Ward candidates had the other lost the primary. I believe the Third Ward ended up with the best two choices for the general and should feel good about all the wonderful candidates that made the decision to run. The Third Ward has an amazingl group of activist that care deeply about their community.
I have great respect for Olin Moore. I worked on the same side with Olin and have been on the oposite side in the past. Olin has always treated me with respect and never seemed to hold a grudge. We have been on a diffrent side in the past and he has always been a joy to battle, friendly, funny, charming, warm, and respectful. He has been a passionate public servant for the residents of Fifth Congressional District. Regardless of this outcome he will continue to serve the public with respect and dignity. Thank you Olin Moore. I believe most of the negative talk by either side has done little to help the candidates. I doubt many folks have been influenced to vote for Don or Olin because someone on the list provided a negative refelction of the oposing candidate. I believe both candidates are outstanding people and both will serve the public well in the future. We gained a wonderful voice for the City Council and still have a wonderful voice working for Congressman Sabo. Congratulations To The Third Ward.
