You know what’s funny? Thinking about elected office (running) and the times. Like, for example, right now I am on city council. #mnleg #GoGreaterMN #JOETOWNROCKS (thread)
I am debating running for mayor. #joetownrocks #Minnesota #GoGreaterMN #womenswork We’ve never had a woman mayor. 😳
But then I think how I’ve also thought about running for governor, #Minneaota has never gone female before on that... but the bottom line? I don’t want to run for office to be the first female anything. #joetownrocks #womenswork #mnleg #GoGreaterMN
