Felix Montez Newest Park Board Candidate

Thanks to the stalker-like abilities that Facebook now affords us I was able to find that Felix Montez is planning to enter the District 1 Park Board race. Here is what his Facebook status read:


Our Park and Recreation system needs bold new leadership! Minneapolis needs Commissioners willing to analyze the Park Board’s failed policies, propose new actions, and follow through on some tough new initiatives. Resigning from Lutheran Social Services this week was the most difficult task I have undertaken in years, I will miss my clients and colleagues, but a serious candidate needs time to run a serious campaign.

Most people will remember that Montez was the Republican endorsed candidate that ran against Dianne Loeffler in 2008. This year however, Montez caucused with the Dems. I've shot Montez an email to get his side of the story on all of this. I'm not sure what he's referring to when he says 'failed policies' but I'm interested to hear what he thinks.

I think Wielinski has done a great job of campaigning for her seat thus far so Montez is going to have an uphill battle for this one.
