I think we have to include Selander in any list of Democrats who could/should run for some office.
He is currently in the world of private industry, but her continues to have a strong public service focus. Based all of his previous jobs, I doubt he will be content to stay away from government and politics for long. And while he is certainly mobbed up with the Markell/Carper wing on of the Democratic Party I think there are good reasons for liberals to consider him a possible candidate.
The previously mentioned public service focus appears to be genuine to me. He is heavily involved in the Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership which is an organization that “aims to inspire and develop our global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service, and innovation.” Even his for profit company seems to have a somewhat goody two-shoes feel to it. Whistle Sports is an online media company that is very successfully bringing athletes, pro leagues, and content providers together to deliver sports content to young fans in a very uplifting, eyes-on-the-horizon way.
Add all of that to Selander’s (prior to Markell) experiences working with legit Democrats and I think he could have the right combination of tools and experience to take seriously as a candidate. Or he is a big phony.
That is, of course, possible. However, as embittered and cynical as I’ve become, I’m not so lost to cynicism that I think it is very probable.
