What made you decide that you want to be mayor rather than city council member?

So, yeah, we basically have a weak mayoral strong council position, meaning there's seven members that basically all share the exact same privileges, if you will.

There's a couple of small executive privileges that the mayor would enjoy.

But really, the mayor is what I look at is like kind of like a brand ambassador for Orville, you know, and and to really kind of say, OK, this is the direction I would like to see us go and then work cohesively with the council members and staff and partner agencies in the community to say, OK, this is the direction we need to go.

And how do we implement that direction? So for me, it was just a matter of assessing the field.

And so when I first ran, it was the same question.

OK, so I've been sitting on the sidelines and watching for a long time.

Is there anything, though, that you think people might not know about what makes you stand out?
