Congratulations to President-Elect Barack Obama. I have many thoughts about this important election and all that has gone with it. At this exciting time I have my own announcement to make.

After two years of thinking, planning and dreaming I have mad a decision to add a new component to my work and service life – I am going to join the political field and run for public office.

So, today I announce that I am running for the Minnesota State Legislature in 2010.

While the 2008 election just ended minutes ago, I am setting my sights on November 4, 2010, only 729 days away.

There is much work to do in these next 729 days and would like to invite you to join me in this effort. While most readers of this blog will not be able to vote for me as you do not live in District 41a there are many ways you will be able to participate and help in the effort.

Over the next number of weeks I will roll out my views on politics, civic engagement and ways for you to join with me in this effort.

Please stay tuned and if you do live in, or are planning to move to Minnesota District 41a I hope I can count on your vote.
