Tonight the results of the exit poll is clear one week after the vote; I won the election by a landslide. The vote was split 25% - 30% - 45% with the Hertzler campaign taking 45%. My platform was “I can see things from your perspective.” I borrowed that from Bill Clinton’s “I feel your pain” speech.
The election I won was to our neighborhood homeowner’s association committee. No one had previously volunteered, so I stepped up to the plate. 45% was actually just 9 votes; see the humor? And we are just one of many neighborhoods in our larger subdivision which has a total of about 60 such representatives.
My neighbor says he’ll start calling me mayor of the street.

Jerry,
Congratulations from a fellow neighborhood rep.
I think of you more as a Neighborhood life coach vs a mayor. You offer more than a slogan, but a practical way of life with the God of us all. You have your own congregation of folks you can listen to and touch at their deepest level.
Maybe I should add you to the Neighborhood Life Coach Network. Followers of Christ creating spiritual footprints in their neighborhoods. Way to go Jerry!!
