Alumnus starts political career back home

Simon Gottlieb has big dreams for the city he has spent most of his life in. Gottlieb, a 2013 political science graduate of the University, was born and raised in the quaint suburb of Golden Valley, Minn. He is currently campaigning in hopes of being elected to city council so that he may help "keep all the citizens of the city happy and content." "Simon has lived here his whole life, so he feels a lot of loyalty to Golden Valley and he really understands the people who live here," said Brian Cook, who has helped Gottlieb run his campaign.
In order to connect with the people in the community, Gottlieb says that when he meets someone, he introduces himself and tells them a little bit about who
he is and what he's trying to do. Cook adds that he sees in Gottlieb an ability to engage people in conversation in order to let them know he's there to listen. "He can go to someone's door and find out what's really important to them,"
budget is used wisely and appropriately, keep the school systems successful and make sure that money from the taxpayers contributes to projects that benefit the community in the long run.
the community in the long run. Only three council seats are open, to be decided between the 14 people, including Gottlieb, that filed by the Aug. 13 deadline. Gottlieb and his campaign team work hard to use strategies that will give the people of Golden Valley a good idea of who Gottlieb is. Gottlieb uses Facebook and Twitter to quickly connect with the public, and also created a website that outlines his background and stance on important tissues, such as property taxes, city services and transportation. He also created flyers and brochures to distribute around the city.
Alumnus Simon Gottlieb is campaigning for the Nov. 11 election for City Council in his hometown of Golden Valley, Minn.
He also created flyers and brochures to distribute around the city, and goes around neighborhoods to talk to people individually at their homes about his campaign.

Gottlieb comes with a background in political work. He interned in both a U.S. Congressman's office and in the Irish Parliament over the past two summers. Th r o u g h these experiences, Gottlieb says he saw the ways in which local issues could be addressed through an accessible city representative. "They always had local people coming in and ask-
ing for help," Gottlieb said. "The fact that an elected official is able to help them really makes these people believe in our political system." University student Esau Gottlieb is a close friend and next door neighbor of Gottlieb's. Both grew up in the same town, and Gottlieb says he can be seenas a helpful source to people in Golden Valley faced with an issue they want addressed by someone in office.
"He's a trustworthy man, the kind who will give you a straight answer," Gotlieb said. "Simon's family values honesty and accountability, and I think those are values he can translate to being a politician. He will be accountable for any promise he makes.
"He's very passionate and committed. He's a hard worker that will get the job done that he says he's going to do, and doesn't make excuses," Gottlieb said. Gottlieb isn't sure about what's in store for him in the future. Since graduating from the University this year, he has been considering attending law school. That decision all depends on how the election turns out, says Gottlieb, and running for office was a
chance he just couldn't pass up. "I figured, why wait? I should jump at the chance, because it could be exciting and it could be great," Gottlieb said. "If I can help out one person who doesn't have anywhere else to go, that would mean the world to me. Making a difference for even one person means a lot." Gottlieb continues to prepare for the Golden Valley City Council elections, which will take place Nov. 11.
