My critics sometimes deride me because I’ve never been elected. When they ask me what I’ve ever accomplished, I tell them “no less than all of Seattle’s brain-dead liberals combined.”
In fact, I can boast a number of accomplishments that I’m very proud of. I was virtually the only individual in Seattle to take a public stand against the late retired general turned derelict schools superintendent John Stanford, even when I was an employee of the Seattle School District.
I’ve run for public office six times, thrice for a seat on the Seattle School Board (SSB) and thrice for Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI), the highest education office in the state. The table below offers some basic statistics, where # equals the total number of candidates (including me) in each race, and % equals the percentage of the votes I received. The last column features links to my Voters Pamphlet statements.

It could probably be argued that, for a time, I owned Seattle’s most potent poltical website. Over the last few years, the Seattle Mafia struck back, creating literally hundreds of websites and blogs that serve primarily to disinform the public. However, I’m once again hard at work on my websites, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Speaking of Seattle Mafia, I’m really proud of that name. Can you imagine a candidate for public office using www.seattle-mafia.org as his campaign website? In fact, it has served as my campaign website two years in a row. Cool.
Yet another accomplishmenet I’m proud of is my attempt to launch a new political party, the Fifth Republic Party.
No, I haven’t saved the world. But don’t blame me, blame the muddled masses that hold me back.
