Why I’m Running for the Dayton Mayor Spot

I don’t know about you, but I love Dayton. I was born here and spent my youth coming here from Xenia so often for one thing or another that I figured I might as well move here, especially after the Dayton craft beer boom. I’ve lived in Walnut Hills and Belmont (now), and I’ve always loved my neighbors. I haven’t, however, always loved our local government.  You may wonder why… and honestly there are far too many reasons to include in just one blog post. But as someone who has worked for Dayton Power & Light (as a meter reader), Dayton Public Schools (as a PBIS Coach) and the City of Dayton’s Mediation Center (as a mediation specialist), I have a lot of experience working in and for the people of Dayton already, and I’ve learned a lot about their resilience, creativity, inventiveness, and what Dayton Strong truly means. As a meter reader, I learned the city’s geography (intimately) and what public services delivery looked like in other parts of town. At Dayton Public Schools I l...

Running (Officially) Now for Mayor

Image
I wasn’t 100% sure when I filed if I wanted to run for commissioner or mayor yet, although you can read my reasoning for why I chose the latter in another blog post on here about why I’m running . The same petition though is used for commissioner and mayoral races. The confusion has now been eliminated, however, and I am officially running for mayor. My treasurer is my friend and neighbor, Jack Aicher, and my committee is called Friends of Gem City Dudeist Priest Archie Magee. But, I do want to talk for a minute about how difficult it is to run for Dayton city commissioner. The Dayton democrat establishment has made it difficult on purpose, and that is something that should be changed. In order to run you have to have five people on your committee, something that is unique to Dayton. You also have to get 500 valid signatures. My understanding is that if you wanted to run for county commissioner, that number would only be 50. That is absurd. It is clearly a blatant attempt to stifle com...

Some Ideological Clarification

Image
So we're now only in the first full day of Trump's America... and it already sucks. As a leftist who has " thatcommunistdude.com " pointing to this blog, I feel like you deserve to know where I stand politically. I'm about to start teaching political ideology to a group of high school students soon. I always like to let my students know where I stand, as well; which is to the left of Bernie Sanders... (I do appreciate him though as someone who helped me along the socialist-leaning path I was already headed down). Only by knowing the biases of those who are teaching you though can you hope to have a chance at understanding the truth. You, as a potential voter, deserve to know my biases as well.  So what does having a local communist candidate for mayor of Dayton mean to you? Well, it means I don't believe capitalism is a viable long-term solution to solving our economic problems. I think it's actually the cause of them. Does that mean I want to end your sma...
