Respect and the Ability to Work Together
So I'm down at the Simple Majority headquarters (my son and his friend were making phone calls to encourage people to vote for it - they actually enjoyed it) and I see Cheryl Chow and Peter Maier making phone calls (good for them). And then I glance up from my reading (I wasn't making phone calls but reading a draft of the Facilities Master Plan) and there was Steve Sundquist making calls as well. I looked back down for awhile and when I looked up again who was sitting right next to Steve making calls? Maria Ramirez.
Those two could have easily sat far apart but they didn't.
I wish they could both be on the Board.

Several years ago (well before kids and Seattle Schools were in my field of vision), I got phone-banked by John Stanford for the operating levy - at least I was awake enough to know who he was, and it was beyond impressive to see him putting his money where his mouth was.) (Or vice versa, actually.)
I wonder if notables like candidates, electeds and other leaders know how powerful their example is.
Steve will be able to devote more time. I have not voted yet and am still thinking tending toward Maria at this time.
