Summer memories come in all sorts of sizes and shapes. Many East Cobbers take a week long family vacation, or maybe you lounged around the pool with neighborhood friends or were busy with a travel baseball league. Well, this summer, I decided to run for political office. From May 24 until July 31, I ran for State Representative-House District 45, which covers most of East Cobb. So, instead of heading down to Florida this summer, I, (and my family) spent the summer fundraising, walking neighborhoods, and attending events. I wish I had better news to report but I lost to the incumbent. But what an incredible experience! There are a lot of people that complain about government and lament that the only people holding office, from the local level to the national, are a bunch of corrupt bums. But it will stay that way if we, the people, confine our political activity to ranting on the couch. By running for political office, I took a stand and had my voice and other neighbors’ voices heard. While being a candidate was physically and mentally challenging, it was also a personally rewarding experience. Regardless of the outcome, I am extremely proud of what was accomplished. Against all odds, a political outsider–a mother of 3 with a small business, I ran on a message that our representation at the state house should be better and our state rep should serve the people, and not the lobbyists or the good ole boys at the State House. Let’s hope the incumbent hears our voices and concerns and begins to serve our exceptional community in the manner in which it deserves.
