When I first heard about Aaron Proctor's bid for Pasadena Mayor, my first reaction was more of a childish exhilaration because someone with a radical appearance was standing up and making himself a target for ridicule. I didn't take him seriously.

I thought more of what the election coverage could do to boost traffic to this site than take into consideration that he is serious about helping his fellow man and possessed the necessary skills, moral standing, and ambition needed as a leader. That was until I sent him ten questions to answer on why he should be elected Mayor. Not only did he answer my questions, he excelled in the interview. This man genuinely wants the responsibility and has proved to me that he is the best choice and the only candidate that qualifies to hold the position.
