Open Letter to Jerome Tilghman
(With apologies to David K. His open letters are funny. I'm not going for funny here.)
Dear Jerome:
Homie...stop running for Congress, Mayor, City Council, etc. You don't have the support. Its not there. And frankly, you aren't very qualified for any of those offices. Sorry if that is ripping the band-aid off a little harshly, but a friend will tell you the truth. Strangers will tell you what you wanna hear, so take it for what its worth.
But I'll tell you what you should run for and what you would be qualified for.
SCHOOL BOARD.
You really wanna make a contribution to this town and leave a mark? Run for school board. Pick your headline...Ray Charles can see how bad things are on the school board.
But you have the skill set for school board. Your Tea Party streak will appeal to fiscal conservatives. Its a smaller race and therefore more manageable. Its winnable for you.
Then, imagine if you're the guy that develops a reputation for fixing messes? Then you can move up to something bigger like city council.
Just my two cents Jerome, but I think you are much more realistic as a candidate for school board than you are for Congress and El Paso could use some deeper talent at the school board level.
Just my two cents.
Your Pal,
LionStar

Money has become a more important qualification to run for Congress. On the other hand I do agree with the the need for experience at local and state levels.
