More Candidates filing

FWOB reports Karen Goldner has filed her candidacy for 2nd district. From Goldner's website,
From 1996 to 2000, I managed the Community Development Corporation of Fort Wayne which makes loans to small, growing businesses. From 2000 to 2003, I was Fort Wayne’s Director of Economic Development. Prior to working for the City, I worked for the State of Indiana’s Job Service and helped people find jobs, including skilled trades positions at General Motors when it opened the Fort Wayne Assembly plant.
.


Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder how many African-Americans benefited from Goldner's help in getting loans to grow their small businesses during her tenure from 1996-2000 or employment at General Motors, hmmmmm?


But it does not matter, Goldner is not running for Mayor, only for the 2nd District. Did Don Schmidt signal a retirement in the horizon? FWOB reports Schmidt signed on again for reelection to the longest held seat by a council person. Schmidt does even have a website. So what, the man is a lecturer in the engineer department of IPFW. Sitting on boards compared having the knowledge how things work and how to build them is a huge difference.

Wait, the Dems still have not announced a candidate for Mayor. Maybe Goldner could change her mind, because a woman can, you know, and run for Mayor? Linda Buskirk did,and she didn't have quite a thimble full of experience as compared to Goldner.

Can we get some new blood here.

  1. I invite you to join in my two year dialogue inviting all women, of every belief and background to reeducate themselves on politics and their role-strength in America and the world. This blog is just beginning and I believe you would have much to contribute!
