| 17.10.13 04:07 | | MAYORAL CANDIDATE #35: CYD GORMAN (POLICE REFORM) Ms.(?) Gorman listed an address in Harrison on her filing, and her signature looks a lot like her printed name. And we're done. No, really...she has a mostly private and/or dormant Facebook page, an empty Twitter account (no tweets, no followers, only following Barack Obama and Sandra Bullock), a blank LinkedIn entry, an empty Google Plus page, no Star Tribune questionnaire, and a website which doesn't look have been updated in over a year (and only once since 2009). Her Twitter bio seems to have the most current information (or information at all) about her: "Live in Minneapolis MN. Wanted to write books and screen plays most of my life but had to raise family first. Looking forward to my next chapter in life." There ARE some books listed on her personal website, and Amazon lists two with her name on the cover as well. No reviews for either. It appears that there were plans for a local journal called "Cyd's Weekly Report" but they never really materialized. There were ALSO plans for a separate nonprofit (and another website with Gorman's telephone number) but that also appears to have gone by the wayside. Given that she was the final candidate to file, it looks like she wanted to pay her twenty bucks and make her "party or principle" serve as her complete statement - with nobody else mentioning it, perhaps it was up to her to make sure people saw "Police Reform" on the ballot and that's all she wanted, so that's all she's done. If so...good for her. She'll be another scapegoat for raising the filing fee, but she got to make her statement this time around. One thing I can tell you for sure is her name is right underneath mine on the ballot (except on any ballots where she's listed first, in which case I'd be last). Did you know I'm the only cadidate of the 35 whose name is sandwiched between two women's names? No, you didn't - and you didn't care. But I thought that was pretty neat. Sorry to end with so much filler - I might have tried harder with CM Hodges if I had known she was the last of the "big" candidates. I honestly can't tell you if I'd be a better mayor than this lady or not, but I feel like I might be! Am I right or wrong? It's YOUR vote! And THAT'S ALL of the candidates! NOW whatever will we talk about? I hope you've learned some stuff you didn't know about at least one of these folks, and maybe I've helped you decide on your Top 3. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or feel I've left any gaps in my research - and one more time, if you could Like and Share /CRZforMayor for me, I'd love for everybody in Minneapolis (and Earth) to know at least as much about all 35 candidates as I feel I now do before they vote, ranking their top three.
