The Fighting 44s

I had the opportunity yesterday to record a podcast with Boston City Councilor Sam Yoon, who is running to become the next mayor of Boston.  Check it out here.  I was highly, highly impressed with the drive that Mr. Yoon put into his candidacy, the force behind his desire to make Boston a better place, and his focus on the importance of education.  In the podcast, he shares his ideas about education and politics, his views on the fiscal crisis and the news media, and his thoughts on his experiences as an Asian American political leader.

The incumbent Menino has been in power for 16 years and has no intention of ever leaving.  There are no term limits, and with the good ol’ boy network in place, Sam has a tough fight ahead of him.  However, I have no doubt that he’s right for the job.  Sam is the first Asian American ever to run for public office in Boston, and he won on his first try.  With votes from Boston and money from Boston and beyond, I believe he can do it again.  Please send this to your networks and encourage your friends and family from Boston to vote.
