As Cathcon mentioned, I'm a mostly ineffectual, vaguely unpopular, and minor figure in local government with hopes to become an effectual, popular, and important (insofar as that term can really be said to ever apply in this context) figure in local government as I grow older and wiser.
Well good luck. How long is your term and have you had to win re-election of late?
Thank you. I won reelection in April for a term that technically lasts until 2016 but from which I'll probably have to resign early next year for reasons related to other changes in my life.
