Over the last couple of months, a growing number of people have asked me to consider jumping into the already crowded Mayoral race. But I’ve been told that its too late, that each candidate already has significant support and there’s no room for a third candidate. The problem is, the vast majority of our citizens have not yet engaged in this election. That’s why I’m coming to you to ask: should I run for mayor?
I’m of the opinion that Denton deserves a robust campaign for Mayor that mirrors its greatness and ambitions. Because my entire tenure on council has been marked by civic engagement, I want to take 24 hours to listen to you – to hear your thoughts and ideas. It’s your ideas, thoughts, and passions that are already shaping and creating this beautiful city. Now I ask that you help shape the landscape of our upcoming Mayoral race.
This May, the campaign for Mayor will be about what sort of city you want to help create.
I’m launching a 24 Hour Exploratory “Committee” where I am asking anyone who sees this to help me decide whether or not I should run for Mayor.
To help you decide, I’ll give you some insight into what a Roden for Mayor campaign might look like…
- Perhaps you’d see a TRACK RECORD OF LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATIVE INITIATIVES.
- Perhaps you’d see a VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF DENTON and a SET OF IDEAS TO GET US THERE.
- Perhaps you’d see a candidate who has the ability to BRING ATTENTION TO OUR CITY THROUGH A LONG LIST OF MEDIA STORIES.
Get educated and check out the other candidates: find out what you can about Jean Schaake, Chris Watts (no website available), and Donna Woodfork (no website available).
Then use this form to help me make a decision of whether or not to run to be the next Mayor of Denton…
