Media, PA - Michael Straw of Media, declared his candidacy for Borough Council today. Mr. Straw has been endorsed by the Media Borough Republican Committee.
"I have a passion for public service and helping government work for everyone. I have spent the last few years helping other candidates in their own efforts to serve, which has been a rewarding experience. I feel now, however, that I have been presented an opportunity to make a difference in my own right in Media Borough."
"In my candidacy, I will seek to bring a fresh perspective to Media's Borough Council. One that will help us solve the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities that our small town will face in the future."
"One of the primary goals for the Borough Council for the next few years will be to get the 3rd Street Bridge rebuilt and work to rebuild a working relationship with the BLCC. We must work with all of the individuals in the Borough to get the 3rd Street Bridge back to reality and not an entity of the past."
"Secondly, we need to look to the severe parking constraints we are seeing in the Borough and look into different solutions, such as a new parking garage, parking lot, or renovations to current structures, to accommodate an increase in parking demand that we have seen in Media."
"Finally, we need someone who understands what quick growth can do to a community. Having lived in communities that have grown at incredible rates, I know what is necessary to ensure that if this level of growth is sustained, and that we plan ahead and expand our utilities accordingly."
"I believe Media Borough has everything that a thriving community needs to sustain itself; a wonderful arts community, a nightlife that is welcoming to all, recreational opportunities, and a great education system. I want to continue all of what makes our small town great! I also believe that we will be able to enhance and modernize some of the Borough's facilities which will make our community even stronger."
"I look forward to an exciting campaign and to meeting all of the residents of Media Borough."
Wow wonder if he is running as Democrat or a Republican. I like him either way already.

DeleteHe looks better looking than all the other men on the Borough Council.
ReplyDeleteAre you running as a Republican or Democrat? You've been registered as both before.
ReplyDeleteIt says he's running as a Republican candidate.
ReplyDeleteWho cares what his party registration was or is now. If he can do a better job than the Councilmembers we have now (that's a low threshold) then he's got my vote.
ReplyDeleteI care about his party registration. I view republicans as traitors to this country, or at best, appeasers. I don't care if he shits gold, if he's a republican, I'll vote to make sure can't get elected.
ReplyDeleteKind of like how Democrats have run this town into pure chaos. Yeah nice try I'll be keeping him as an option.
DeleteYou'll "make sure" what's that supposed to mean? Sounds pretty rude.
DeleteAn R,D, or I doesn't matter the score that borough council gets is an "I" for incomplete
DeletePerhaps maybe will run as an "I" as in independent of the two parties idealic positions so something can get done that the people are in favor of and that doesn't violate our bldg codes
If he was Ted Erickson or Joe Loeper, I'd be more inclined to consider him. But Straw's twitter account is a cesspool. He follows and endlessly litany of people who spew incorrect right wing talking points, re-tweet Trump, post racist memes, mouth associations with horrific organizations like Americans for Prosperity, horrific legislators like Santora and Hackett, local GOP party feeds, wackos like Brian Lieb, lying hacks like Mike Rader, some Pete McGinnis loser, disgraced people like Pat Meehan, etc., etc, etc.
DeleteStraw's associations and affiliations with extreme right wing figures show us exactly who he is; a GOP party backed hack.
Interesting since the has an gay pride flag on his account. Such a 'hateful" person.
DeleteMedia Democrats must be hateful since they follow Nancy Pelosi on twitter. Seriously no one cares. It says that the Democrats are hacks when they complain about a bunch of unhateful people this guy follows.

DeleteWhat is....."the BLCC"?
How about the Media Borough Council associating itself in meetings with the BLCC? What a horrible association. Media Democrats are desperate.
ReplyDeleteBeg pardon?
DeleteBroomall Lake Country Club is a good association.
