The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
We hear this “psychobabble” phrase often, but it does have merit.
It doesn’t matter if you’re considering someone for a company position or as a friend. If you examine how they’ve conducted business in the past or the causes to which they’ve committed themselves, you’ll have an idea of what kind of employee or friend they will be in the future.
What in the world does this have to do with running for office? In my opinion–everything!
Take a look at the tab “About Carol” on this website and see that I have made significant accomplishments in every position I’ve had in my career history. I am a producer of results and I am very proud of that.
I hope everyone has had the chance to view the District 84 Candidate Forum that was sponsored by the Lubbock League of Women Voters and Channel 11: http://tinyurl.com/yhajs2o
You will see from this forum that I am a person who prepares. You will see I am a person who is a communicator. I know about education. I know about business–way beyond the accounting sheets. I know about what motivates people. I know how to bring people together to get the best results.
What’s in it for me? Nothing. I am merely continuing my pattern of past behavior–and that is to make my community a better place and to help others to have a better life. We all need to stop asking the question “What’s in it for me?”. We need to start asking what we can do TOGETHER just because it’s the RIGHT thing to do.
We need to have public servants who are going to do the right thing by their constituents and put people first. We need to have public servants who will forget about party labels and political “catch phrases”, do their homework, ask for their constituents’ opinions and stand by them.
Government is about people–meeting their needs and helping to make their community better.
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior and my past speaks for itself.
