Let him run! Let him run!

If I were running for state house, I would probably try to have my shit in order. Even if I had no shot of winning — and one look at anything in the archives of this site would immediately turn voters against me, I’m sure — I would try to have all my papers filed on time, make sure I live in the legislative district, maybe have some buttons made up.

Just the simple things, you know? I wouldn’t need to have t-shirts made up or anything at this point. I think it’s sound advice. But for some, not really:

Milton Street submitted a nominating petition to run for the State House in the May primary. It was rejected because it was improperly filled out.

But a spokeswoman for state election officials says Milton Street can ask Commonwealth Court to amend the petition. [...]

The mayor also said he wouldn’t get involved in the issue of brother Milton’s residency. There are questions about whether Milton Street lives in the House district in which he reportedly intends to run, the 195th in Philadelphia.

Welcome back to politics, Milton! Let’s hope he runs; it’ll be fantastic.
