Place 1 Field Crowded Not Clear
RECEIVED Fri., Dec. 17, 2004
Chronicle,
"Naked City" [News, Dec. 17] states that Mr. Lee Leffingwell, candidate for City Council Place 1, "has done a good job clearing the field in Place 1." Had I known this sooner, I would have prepared a concession speech! I’m sure Lee has City Council potential, but his field-clearing leaves much to be desired.
My political machine consists of a clipboard, petition papers, and a pen. Rather than purchase my place on the ballot for $500, I chose the alternative of collecting 294 signatures to get on the ballot.
I’m mainly running for City Council Place 1 to offer voters another option. I have made the choice to initiate active participation in government as opposed to lethargic complaint.
Please allow me to state my case in the months prior to the election, probably at a slower pace than special interests and consultants would suggest.
