Along with a garland spray of oak pollen, Austin will be germinating new seats in City Hall with early voting for City Council members this week. Personally, as a former City reporter for the Daily Texan, I'd have to say that your vote does matter in a slight, unduly optimistic kind-of-way. Regardless of your political disposition, it's always healthy to understand that politicians are people too. Jennifer Kim, my personal favorite because of race and education, has released her cute and overwhelmingly cheesy advertisement. Her incumbency relies on the faith of several 'noobs' who don't understand her tainted track record over social policies, especially the whole "pan handling" fiasco which she introduced.
Whether or not she is a 'viable' option for the seat, I am going to have to give my full support towards her goals in becoming a fulfilled Asian American woman. The reason: She's asian. And there is no doubt that we need more representation, any in that case, despite contentious arguments claiming her to be a 'corporate-loving' fiend. Personally, I've had a chat or two with the gal, and she's a-okay in my books. (but then again, it's her job to smile and gain popularity).
To a fine Asian American Lady climbing up the ladder of upward mobility...Good Luck.
