Miguel for Ward 6

Yesterday my brother stepped into the ring. He ran for city council in Oxford, MS. He ran as a Democrat. He ran against an incumbent Republican. He ran knowing the odds were not in his favor. He ran know the state leans a little red (or a lot). 

Sometimes you step into the ring, not just to try to win. Maybe not even to get a knock down. Maybe just to put a cleverly placed jab. Maybe to get one good clean swing. Maybe you step in knowing you’ll get knocked down. 

You always step into the ring to tell the opponent you aren’t scared. You always step in ready for their best, and to try and give your best. Sometimes your best isn’t enough. But you always let them know, you aren’t scared. 

Thank you Miguel for stepping up, getting in the ring, and not being scared and showing them what you are made of. 

Proud of you Bro!
