From Ryan Kopf

In November 2007, after starting at age 18, I ran for Mayor of my hometown, on a platform of change, focusing on youth, drug prevention, and a more responsible city government. I saw that we could use new ideas and new energy to strengthen our city and balance our budgets. Most of all, I wanted to improve our future by investing in young people with youth programs and a number of drug prevention programs. Although I didn't get the job, I appreciate all the support I recieved. I look forward to seeing our future leaders take up some of the issues I've brought to the forefront.
