Tyler Woods is definitely the best candidate for the First Ward. When I met with him recently he expressed amazement that city council members were paid monthly. He was prepared to volunteer. Already I was all ears.
It's very seldom to meet selfless individuals who care more about their community than they do themselves. He is one of them--willing to actually serve our community and work for the people, not the status quo.
I am not a one issue voter, but he is voting "yes" on Prop A (which this blog is all about). He also understands the community and is willing to go out of his way and meet everyone. He understands how the sound ordinance works, for example, and how the powers to be ignore it. He understands parking issues and how they impact on handicapped drivers.
I like that in a candidate--an open honesty and a willingness to do the best he can do.
What else impressed me--he gave out his contact info to everyone, he actually asked what issues concerned me, and he listened--and not the way a politician listens (what's in it for me), but how a human being should listen--with concern, empathy and understanding.
The present First Ward candidate has to give up his seat in two years due to procedural rules. Then the mayor can appoint someone he wants. Tyler Woods will be eligible for the entire eight years.
I'm voting for him.
If you need more reasons please read the following quote: “If I am elected, I promise to maintain a policy of open communication. This is one of the cornerstones of public service. (Please feel free to contact me: 573-230-3072 or tyler.m.woods@gmail.com.) I also promise to research all issues before taking action and to represent the First Ward to the best of my ability, but I cannot do this without you. Please vote for me—and better city government—April 5th.”
