SEVEN WEEKS TO ELECTION DAY - MAYORAL CANDIDATE #14: MERRILL ANDERSON (JOBS & JUSTICE)

Sorry, I'm falling a bit behind. I've been filling out questionnaires for various groups (which hopefully will someday be published somewhere for me to link for YOU!) and...I may have gone back to Candy Crush despite my best efforts to not do that during the campaign.

Anyway, here's Merrill Anderson. He's NOT related to Mark Anderson, who is not to be confused with Mark Andrew...unless I've just confused you with all these dudes with the same initials!

His filing lists a residence in....Excelsior...but that's not a Minneapolis neighborhood; it's a city about 15 miles outside Minneapolis. He's initialed the sentence on the filing that says he promises he will have lived in Minneapolis for 30 days prior to the election, so he's probably moving any day now. Or he's full of it. I can't tell.

According to his Facebook page - which, along with a Twitter account, is all you'll find of him online,* he's a member of the Washburn High class of 1955, which should put him somewhere in his 70s. He kinda Facebooks and tweets like a guy in his 70s as well - perhaps I am glimpsing my own future in about thirty years? This appears to be his first run for office.

*He's claimed to have paid $49 to get a website, which will be available any day now - hopefully he wasn't another one of our fine senior citizens conned out of $49 by a fast talkin' Internet huckster!

That's really all I got. Sorry, folks! He's been to KFAI so there'll be an interview online soon, and hopefully his interviewer asked him how the move from Excelsior to Minneapolis is going and that makes the cut. (Also, why he picked "Jobs & Justice" as his party or political principle.) (And finally, I'll be taping MY interview at KFAI Thursday.)

I honestly can't tell you if I'd be a better mayor than this guy or not, but I have a suspicion I might be! Am I right or wrong? It's YOUR vote!

NEXT: Yep, again
