Another candidate for mayor? (The Next Mayor)

So far, only the City Paper has been seriously pushing State Senator Anthony Williams as a candidate for mayor.

But if this doesn't say "I'm running for mayor," then I don't know what does.

Highlights: Williams's words in italics, and my own annotations.

As one of the first people to push for the state takeover of our school district in hopes of saving our children's future
People seem to think the SRC and Paul Vallas are doing a good job. I helped bring them in.

but unless parents, and by proxy, community, step fully into their roles, it will be for naught.
I will appeal to people who believe in personal responsibility and the role of parents and who don't think government can do everthing.

because competition is not just against Kennett Square or Lower Merion, or Boston and San Francisco anymore. It also includes emerging markets in China's Beijing and India's Margoa and elsewhere.
Hey business leaders, I know we should work together as a region to make this five-county entity called "Philadelphia" a household name around the world.

That is the first step in curbing violence. Not calling 911. Not a new law.
Another tip o' the cap to folks who don't want too much government.

It is time to believe. Again.
Here's what you'll see on my campaign posters.

Government listened and responded, creating a Curfew Center at the Dixon House. I proudly partnered with the Street Administration in this effort and know that residents will not allow this venture to fail, because they are stakeholders.
But, on the other hand, government can do good things too. Unless the curfew center doesn't work out well, then it's because we, "all of us," needed to be more involved.

Believe it.
And here's what you'll see on my campaign buttons and those stickers that go on lightposts.

I'm beginning, ever so slowly, to believe that this guy might make a run.
