Its official now: Rodger Koopman will be Raleigh District B’s new city councilor! At noon today Jessie Taliaferro announced she is not seeking a runoff.
Man, I can’t tell you how happy I am. Rodger’s team worked very hard for this. We took on an established,formidable candidate and won against all odds. Its a huge victory for Raleigh’s grassroots – everyday people who care enough about our city to get involved.
Congratulations to Rodger. Kudos to Jessie Taliaferro as well for her classy decision. While I’m at it let me offer my apologies for my rather harsh previous post.
