Yeah, its my real cousin. He is only now a young mayor of a small North Dakota town now but has aspirations to become a state rep or something. He is a Democrat. Which is rare in that state. Just curious if you would vote for him. I do not care either way. It is just a question.
I wouldn't vote for anyone without knowing their positions on issues, accomplishments, education, life experience. Often in local races when I'm not familiar with either candidate I leave it blank and assume those 'in the know' will decide.
@ChadJNSD Well I think much depends on how small of a town as depending on where you're from you may consider 75,000 a small town whereas someone in North Dakota may consider >300 to be a small town. Then it is very unlikely the mayor of a small town is going to have any accomplishments worthy of national recognition or make important political connections. I know where I am originally from the mayor gets pulled around like a puppy on a leash by other city works and their unions telling him what they want in exchange for their votes. And without their votes he won't be reelected. So he goes with the flow to maintain his do little job.
If I lived in the area, I would listen to or read up on his policies and plans. I'm not inclined to vote D, and certainly not based solely on a photo without knowing more.
It would depend on what he had to say and his plans for leadership were, his record as mayor. But I’d definitely be more inclined to vote for a Democrat, so with me he’d have that advantage.
