 |  | Officially, I got one #1 vote - presumably my own (unless I spelled my name incorrectly). That's still ∞% more than the other write-in guy! |
|

| Polls only closed 30 minutes ago! But... probably not |

| I was voter at my precinct this morning. Wrote myself in for mayor, of course - you can write me in too! |

| Occasional reminder that any write-in votes for me for will count, until I'm probably eliminated in the first round |

| Happy to announce I have officially filed; your write-in vote for me for Minneapolis mayor WILL be counted. https://pic.twitter.com/fcZ6Qi9tlE |

|  | Officially filed... I'm (kinda) running for mayor again #CRZ4mayor #writeinCRZ |

| Three years ago, my time as candidate for mayor of Minneapolis ended and I posted this postmortem. It's not a BAD piece of writing but I do regret bashing light rail...I've come around on it since then. I'm still NOT planning to run again next year, but there's always a chance I'll get bored enough to try to collect 500 signatures... |

| Here's me and Gregg Iverson running for mayor of Minneapolis back in 2013.
We both look better these days! https://pic.twitter.com/o0F99YRdc3 |

|  | #tbt Facebook would like me to tell you that two years ago, Minneapolis held a mayoral election where I eventually finished 21st out of 35. Currently, I still don't plan on running again in 2017, but I DO still think the new stadium is an abomination and a crime against Minneapolis taxypayers (although WWE is bringing WrestleMania to it, I think, so through no fault of my own my big campaign promise will eventually come true) |
|
| 19.8.15 17:37 |
| Apparently, somehow I brought WrestleMania to Minneapolis despite not getting elected mayor - you're welcome, ! |

| Shout out to for recognizing me out on 7th Street earlier tonight, extending my 15 minutes of Minneapolis fame |

| I No Longer Want To Be Your Mayor (But Vote No on 1) |
| 11.7.14 01:36 |
| So condescending!
Keep it up and I WILL run again! (Link to Star Tribune: Raise the filing bar for political hobbyists in Minneapolis) |
| 20.5.14 14:53 |
| What will be cheaper in summer 2017: Super Bowl tickets or filing fee to run for mayor of Minneapolis? |
| 3.1.14 21:44 |
| Email spammers blissfully unaware that my campaign ended two months ago with the traditional November Election Day |
| 2.1.14 12:54 |
| 194 votes before elimination - just over 1000 overall (~400 ranks, ~400 ranks) - 21st of 35, but just ahead of Jeff Wagner! |
| 31.12.13 12:01 |
| I think what I'll remember most about 2013 are those 100 days when I believed I was running for mayor of Minneapolis |
| 15.11.13 17:52 |
| Cool, you used my photo! |

| 1459 DAYS TO ELECTION DAY:
--no, just kidding.
(Is he kidding?) |
| 7.11.13 22:24 |
| It's official! After 33 rounds (hey, I lasted halfway!), Betsy Hodges and Mark Andrew were left - Hodges was declared the winner with 38,870 votes (48.95%) to Andrew's 24,972 votes (31.44%). Exhausted ballots were 15,573 (19.61%). So I needed juuuuuuust about 38,680 more votes - if you're gonna fall short, fall WAY short. |
| 7.11.13 20:47 |
| Sorry I'm late. Did you already figure it out? We were the only two declared Libertarians in the race |
| 7.11.13 19:04 |
| The Charter Commission wasted no time putting forward a proposal to increase the filing fee for mayor from $20 to $500. I ALSO wasted no time taking to E-Democracy.org to complain about it. (Link to E-Democracy.org: Unelected Charter Commission Unanimously Approves Recommendation to Increase Mayoral Filing Fee to $500) |
| 7.11.13 17:27 |
| By 1 vote, James Everett pips in their 11th and final swap - she'll be eliminated in Round 25 and he in R26. |
| 7.11.13 17:05 |
| Interesting (only to me?) thing about RCV counting is that Ms. Bennett & Mr. Everett have changed places 10 times so far |
| 7.11.13 12:59 |
| I can't disagree there, but if you ran for months/year, why not wait until you're mathematically eliminated? For your supporters |
| 7.11.13 12:44 |
| I officially finished 21st out of 35.
Also, the MN Libertarian Party may have excommunicated me. I'm not sure. |
| 7.11.13 12:29 |
| When Clark is eliminated, check the "exhausted" pile gain to see how we probably split the (massive) libertarian vote |
| 7.11.13 12:27 |
| Interestingly (?), I have passed the largest number of votes in any round - 54 to the "blessed" LP candidate |
| 7.11.13 12:22 |
| TWO DAYS AFTER ELECTION DAY: Round 17 is complete and I have officially been eliminated. I'm the 20th runner-up. My 194 votes have been transferred to other candidates, where applicable. (If you voted for any of the 20 people above me #1 but ranked me #2 or #3, I never got your vote - you should switched us and kept me alive one more round!)
I always said my main goal was to not finish last, so in that respect I have succeeded beyond expecations. ;-)
Thanks to everybody for sharing this experience with me! |
| 7.11.13 12:22 |
| The people have spoken, and they have resoundingly said: "Who ARE you?" |

| RT : Look out , is coming for you next ;-) |
| 7.11.13 12:06 |
| Media availability in 10 minutes over by the coffee machine - look for the only guy standing there |
| 7.11.13 11:55 |
| Let the record reflect that, by 5 votes, I will have lasted one more round than Mr. Wagner |
| 7.11.13 10:45 |
| Why concede when you're still mathematically alive? What politician does that? (Well, besides Mark Andrew, I mean) |
| 7.11.13 10:23 |
| If Don Samuels hasn't conceded yet, (1) it's an underreported story (2) he may be only "major" candidate to "get" RCV |
| 6.11.13 23:41 |
| Up to Round 15 and I haven't been eliminated yet! I'm up to 192 official votes but only 4 votes ahead of Mr. Wagner. Mr. Baxter will be next eliminated (180) and then we'll see if it's him or me (or if I miraculously pass Mr. Clark (206) or Mr. Hanna (214)) - they may stop counting for the day at midnight, so I just might last one more night!

| I shouldn't know more than the media does. (I'll bet you get that a lot) |
| 6.11.13 17:07 |
| We'll root for more ties, then. :) Thanks! |
| 6.11.13 16:53 |
| It's not a "too many candidates" problem, it's a "process needs improvement and refinement" problem; it'll continue to get better |
| 6.11.13 16:45 |
| If Stroud and Workcuff stay tied after next round, do you flip a coin to determine elimination or eliminate 'em both? |
