| rdfs:comment | - Thank you Amesh for bringing the article to everyone’s attention. As states the article, I have formally deposited my nomination papers to run for the District 1 City Council seat, this at the urging of many of my neighbors in Summer Hill, Observatory Hill, Perry Hill Top, and Troy Hill. Little did I know until recently that the efforts I have put forward in advancing community issues and attempting to maintain or improve the quality of life in the upper North Side has touch so many. Some of these actions include leading the fight against the relocation of a helicopter pad to our neighborhood, raising over 17,000$ for a family victim to a house fire, and co-organizing & moderating a debate between all the candidates running for the 20th District State Rep seat.

| abstract | - Thank you Amesh for bringing the article to everyone’s attention. As states the article, I have formally deposited my nomination papers to run for the District 1 City Council seat, this at the urging of many of my neighbors in Summer Hill, Observatory Hill, Perry Hill Top, and Troy Hill. Little did I know until recently that the efforts I have put forward in advancing community issues and attempting to maintain or improve the quality of life in the upper North Side has touch so many. Some of these actions include leading the fight against the relocation of a helicopter pad to our neighborhood, raising over 17,000$ for a family victim to a house fire, and co-organizing & moderating a debate between all the candidates running for the 20th District State Rep seat. All that said, I humbled & honored that so many think highly of my work & abilities, and with 8 years of experience as a Junior City Council member in Montreal, I here by accept to throw my hat in the ring, and attempt to bring the much needed change to city council that this city needs. The time for partisan politics and self-centered aspirations must end, and a new era, one of ideas and action, must begin if this city is to survive. Unlike other levels of government, Pittsburgh can no longer afford to sit idlely by while political games & positioning are played, and what is needed now are for people with ideas to step forward. I believe myself to be one of those people, and I will spend the next 5 weeks putting forward those ideas for all to see, and if elected, I will attempt to put those ideas into action. In closing, I invite you all, especially Progressives who live on the North Side, to visit my campaign website frequently for updates as those ideas will be posted there. In the mean time, like Tim, I will leave you with my nomination press release, and hopefully I will get to meet many of you at a Happy Hour if one is organized for the candidates of this specific race. Thanks & Respects Dave
