32 Votes!

Hey Ya'll,

Campaign is over! I got 32 votes and I am really happy about it. People came out with a surprising amount of support and I got a lot of support from my party. I met Tarja Halonen at the end of elections SDP celebration. I also met a lot of local people during the campaign and  that was awesome. Starting to put down some serious roots here, and it's awesome.

Thanks everyone for your support! I'll keep you posted on the progress with my political life!

Question: Do you think I should continue my political life in English or Finnish? 

My Finnish is okay, but I can't figure out how to say some things and it takes forever to post!

Thanks for reading!

Kunnalisvaalit 2012: I'm running!

Hi everyone,

I know I have been away for a while and I know I always have excuses, so here's another one: I'm running in the local elections in Espoo, Finland.

Okay, well no, that is not the only excuse. But it should suffice because the other excuses are much to long winded and boring or personal. And that is the most exciting information I have to offer at the moment. Well I can say that I am still pretty dog tired, but I am managing and the excitement of local elections just can't be beat. You can see my election blog here ; http://ednanelson.wordpress.com/ if you are interested it would be good to just go there from now until the end of October. There will be videos. Maybe I'll cross post them.

Thanks for reading, I am so happy to be back!
