MAYORAL CANDIDATE #32: ALICIA K. BENNETT (DEMOCRATIC-FARMER-LABOR)

Bennett (34, Near-North) signed up for Twitter, but has never tweeted. She DID fill out her bio, so we could paste that in here, I guess:

"Teacher. Truth-Seeker.

Candidate for Mayor of Minneapolis.

Try me ... You'll like me."

Hmmmm...I could have used that!

She is on LinkedIn - let's steal THAT bio: "Teacher. Truth-Seeker. Rebel. Revolutionary. | Working to Help Marginalized Communities & People Realize Their Power."

I found her on Facebook, but there's not much there that's public. Instead of a photo of her, it's a picture of Huey Freeman from "The Boondocks" which kida fits in with her most of her other bios.

Although she didn't list a website on her filing, it turns out she DOES have a website...it's a whopping 7 page Bluehost.com "stock" WordPress site. Her bio over THERE mentions a partner and two dogs. Every issue in this campaign traces back to poverty, she says. Also, her "blog" section has one entry: a "hello world" piece from 8/18 which says in full: "I will be posting to my campaign blog soon." Another lying politician...why I oughta - on the other hand, that "AB" logo is very nicely designed.

Her Star Tribune questionnaire almost avoids poverty, instead talking about how awful Ranked Choice Voting is and how she'd advocate to eliminate it. She could probably do that without being elected mayor. You know, since Minneapolis held the vote to go ahead with RCV, this is ONLY the second election to have it. It seems a little premature to write it off just yet - even with only three rankings. (If anything, we should be working on getting more rankings instead of scrapping it altogether. I'm sure I've said this before, though.)

Aside from the answer with all of the RCV bashing, a lot of her other answers don't totally appear to match up with the questions asked....or are so vague they could apply to practically any concept, but in a real "literary" way - I urge you to go check 'em out and expand your mind while seeking truth.

I honestly can't tell you if I'd be a better mayor than this lady or not, but I feel like I would! Am I right or wrong? It's YOUR vote!

NEXT: I feel close to back on schedule! We're finally up to the final day of the filing period with only three candidates to go! Up next - my neighbour!
