Tree 0 Posted August 14, 2010 OK it's official I'm running for City council in El Cajon. I will be on the ballot for the Nov 2 election so anyone living in El Cajon City make sure you are registered to vote. In my candidate statement I even mentioned that I was a member of San Diego Adventure Riders. I guess when it gets closer the election guides will come out. I plan to get some bumper stickers and yard signs as it gets closer if anyone wants one let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is one seat open, Gary Kendrick's Good Luck Duane I would gladly vote for you if you lived up north. I don't think a yard sign would help you much up here.

RogerTOWM 0 Posted August 14, 2010 I'm officially a Texan now. But if I were still in El Cajon you would have my vote. I should be able to get the ex-wife to vote for you though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tree 0 Posted August 26, 2010 After you win the council seat take aim at that windbag Mark Lewis and get him out of the mayor's role. Lewis is up for re-election this term also. You never know he could be voted out. I think he will get some competition from Todd C Moore a retired police officer but we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tree 0 Posted September 23, 2010 Thanks for the encouragement. Just remember to tell all your friends who live in El Cajon to vote for Tree. Nov 2 is also my B-day so I might just have a little get together for both. I was thinking if the El Cajon Brewery opens that might be a good place. They were trying to be open for Octoberfest but I'm not sure how that's coming along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tree 0 Posted October 6, 2010 Here is a link to a signonsandiego article from a league of women voters forum I participated in last night. link My only hope is that all the residents that keep telling me El Cajon needs a leadership change show up to vote and don't water down their selection with the other candidates. Fell free to leave comments at the bottom of the article if you wish. I did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
