DOTC: It Won’t Be Me, Babe

Dan of the Community answers the question on many lips re: his possible run for municipal office, now that he's a Coeur d'Loonian again: "Nope, not a chance for anything this cycle. I am engaged more than full time in my role at CASA and I am giving it everything I have to give. I do intend to stay involved in many aspects of my community and that includes a longtime interest in local politics. In fact I enjoyed being able to attend Mary's announcement this morning since it's just a few blocks from my office and who ever is running may end up representing my hometown. Of course at the time I went I thought it would be Dan Gookin announcing but hey, if you can't have a little fun along the way, even in politics, then what's the point?"

Question: We need to start asking about the rest of the lineup. I suspect Woody & Deanna will run again. However, if they don't, who would be good candidates for the council seats? I'd like to see someone run from the Decline-to-Sign gang of Sara Meyer, Jennifer Drake or Eden Irgens. Sara and Jennifer have young babes, however. Eden?
