The Spinosa Factor

This fourth of July weekend I was able to take a little time and actually unwind. Now it wasn’t much but I did kill two bottles of wine with two good neighbors. I mentioned about running for city council in Baltimore City as a Republican. Needless to say I’m new to Baltimore City and my neighbors are at least 10 years my senior each. The reaction was quite literally “mission impossible”. So I went and did some fact finding to see how truly horrible it was in the City of Baltimore.

FUN FACTS OF GOP IN BALTIMORE CITY

1. The last Republican mayor was elected in 1963.
2. The last Republican council member was before World War II

These aren’t encouraging facts especially with 20% of the population turning out to vote. None the less I believe that representation and party reform is in need. While my hopes of running for a council seat in 2010 are slightly dashed… it’s ok.

I’ve got a couple big plans to re-expose the residents of Baltimore to a traditional and refocused republican party. As soon as I roll some of them out I’ll list them here.
