Some of them did better than most, but some decided it may be a good idea to register right before deciding to run.
The winner of public service hypocrisy? Jennifer Sigette, who decided to register to vote right before she announced she was running for the seat that is now uncontested. As someone who bragged during the candidate forums she has made Sioux Falls her home for the last 25 years and worked in various non-profit settings never voted in a city election.
Or Mr. Burn down the government, Stuart Willett who literally registered to vote one day, and wrote his name down as a candidate the next day?
Whenever these clowns say they want to serve the public and ‘give back’ I ask what they have contributed so far. And it seems having NO experience or knowledge in local government is the secret sauce to getting elected.
Guess whose voting record beats them all?

Pro conventional bike advocate – Has voted in every election since April of 1979, except for a school board election in April of 1981, because he forgot to get an absentee ballot while home for Easter from college. Oh, and he turned 18 in February of ’79, so the April election was the first one he could legally vote in. 🙂
