I closed my first blog survey (see Take a leave of absence and run for public office) and here are the results:
16 - # of survey visitors
4 – actual # of visitors completing the survey
4 – considered running for elected office, i.e., 1 for city council, 1 for state senator, 1 for county auditor (other than me), and 1 for an unspecified office.
1 – one person indicated: his/her employer would not grant a leave of absence, he/she could not raise the needed campaign funds, no one ever asked him/her to run for office, he/she doesn’t know anything about any elected office, and taking a leave of absence would stall his/her career.
2 - # of visitors who wanted additional information. I talked to one and I’m waiting for the other person to reply to my email.
To those who completed the survey – Thanks! --Joel @ 2:10pm
