Thank you! I’ll still be around Madison and very involved in the local scene. Excited to learn what I can do outside of elected office :)

Madison City Council’s youngest member explains his exit and takeaways Council Vice President MGR Govindarajan called his terms β€œeducational” and said he hopes his successor focuses on communicating how local government works.

A nice write-up on @murali-mgr.bsky.social's tenure on Council, doing the "student" district proud. I'm happy to read that his departure is in part a recognition of the need to keep that a student-oriented seat, but I hope we see more of his leadership in the future! captimes.com/news/governm...

I think Madison deserves two nights of Coldplay. This is criminally unfair.

You are not the only one to have asked me to do this πŸ˜‚ but for the most part each alder has only spoken once so I wouldn’t have the votes

Madison Sister City Delegation to Visit Obihiro, Japan The trip was organized by the Madison-Obihiro Sister Cities Inc. board to work for peace and better understanding of all cultures.

At a time when international collaboration is fading and immigrants are increasingly marginalized in public discourse, I’m excited to represent Madison’s Common Council on this visit!

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

This is the impact to Dane County, WI-home to the University of Wisconsin.

This will impact everyone in the state and makes the upcoming WI Supreme Court election even more important.

#SusanCrawford will prioritze education, science and the value of scientific R & D here in WI.

The median age of Madison residents is 31 years old. The council should reflect this.

New generation should be representing the people of Madison | Orrie Walsvik Ulrike Dieterle is too old to run for District 5 on Madison's City Council, and her priorities match her age.

Just leaving this here, nothing more to add.

Democracy Dies at β€œThe Washington Post” …and oligarchy lives.

Jeff Bezos thinks that American media does not cheerlead loudly enough for oligarchy. So he has decided to remake The Washington Post’s opinion section as the tribune of the billionaire class.
