While We’re Talking About Running [UPDATED]

After a week of deciding not to run for City Council in Macon, I have decided I will be running for Ward V, Post 3 in Macon. The caveat is that my employer needs to sign off it. If they do, I’m in.

[UPDATED] The boss is on board (yeah, the wife and employer), so I’m running for City Council!

Run, Erick, run!

Doug Deal May 7, 2007 at 10:24 pm

Don’t do it! It’s a mistake.

Just testing how easily you are manipulated.

ugadog May 7, 2007 at 11:25 pm

Who’s your opposition? (so I know who to send a check to).

I feel that bloggers are like lobbyist .
They should stick to what they do best.

buzzbrockway May 8, 2007 at 7:50 am

Right On!

What can I do to help?

SpaceyG May 8, 2007 at 8:17 am

GoPeach… now that bites. Comparing bloggers to lobbyista. That’s just not right. How many lobbyists ply their sick trade for free? Bloggers on the other hand are such bottom feeders, we’ll even do this kinda work for free.

Erick belongs in a Ward.

Go for it Erick!

Doug Deal May 8, 2007 at 11:16 am

So if you run, are you going to post how the rest of us can help out.

JRM2016 May 8, 2007 at 11:18 am

Is this election in November 2007?

Maurice Atkinson May 8, 2007 at 11:30 am

Good move and congratulations!

Erick May 8, 2007 at 11:42 am

Doug,

I’ll get something together.

Erick

I’ve got this great hotel deal I’d like you to present when you’re elected…

Chris May 8, 2007 at 11:47 am

So, what does this district look like? Republican, Democrat, Black, White, Rich, Poor? Is the election partisan or non-partisan?

SpaceyG May 8, 2007 at 11:53 am

Does this mean PP will now become your personal campaign tool? If it does, will we have to launch a hostile takeover bid?

Icarus May 8, 2007 at 11:53 am

What’s the Sweedish population?

LymanHall May 8, 2007 at 11:54 am

Is that post going to be vacated too? I thought Post 1 was going to be an open seat?

CobbGOPer May 8, 2007 at 11:57 am

Erick, I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into, my friend. It’s very different on the Dark Side…

Demonbeck May 8, 2007 at 11:59 am

I am glad that Truett Cathy gave you the thumbs up. Will you be able to continue to make those delicious little chicken mini biscuits during breakfast?

Demonbeck May 8, 2007 at 2:25 pm

Erick,

Are you running on the Republican, Libertarian, Democratic or Bull Moose ticket?

Andrew May 8, 2007 at 3:42 pm

Erick,

Are you still supporting Lance Randall for Mayor?

mercergirl May 9, 2007 at 9:36 pm

Thank God- I’m glad to know someone I can trust will be running for my Ward.

Now if we could only do something about who is running for Ward V Post 1….

Erick May 9, 2007 at 9:43 pm

Demonbeck, I’ll be a Republican.

Andrew, I think they mayoral candidates are on their own. I said I’d support Lance and I will. I think Riechert would be an excellent mayor.

MidGaDawg May 9, 2007 at 10:19 pm

What do you think about your friend Lauren Benedict running for Post 1? Does Ward 5 overlap at all with Freeman’s House seat or did she move again?

gatormathis May 10, 2007 at 12:40 am

Erick,
I live out of town so I’ll have to mail in my vote as high as these gas prices are.

While I’m at it, I’ll mail in my “dead” freinds’ votes also. Surely some of them are in your favor.

It’s the least we can do for ya………
