Highlands Bunker – E52 – One Year Special
For our 52nd episode, Wilmington Metropolitan Urban League president and former mayoral candidate Eugene Young joins RE Vanella in the bunker to talk about his background, the lessons everyone needs to learn, and the difficulties of Delaware politics.
Show Notes:
RE.
Why didn’t you press him on running against Purzycki. The field is wide open and he would win this time.
Good question.
I’m more interested in how he (in collaboration with Network and others) are training armies of candidates and organizers. It’s more important.
All these great challengers knocking doors today probably didn’t simply materialize. We have a factory. It has already trained up election winners. It will continue to do this. This is a better way to use limited resources. I believe Eugene agrees with me.
Just a choice really. Even if you say “he will win” (which isn’t some foregone conclusion) it would probably mean six to ten potential candidates aren’t trained properly. And a mayor Young administration would just be in constant loggerheads with real estate interests.
The electoral strategy for the city government looks good to me. Donate to Coby and Shané today!
Thanks for listening. Hit one of the patronage buttons!
