SF City Council Candidate Alex Jensen postcard in mailboxes, talking about being “positive & proven.” Opponent Theresa Stehly is …triggered.

Sioux Falls City Council Candidate Alex Jensen had a postcard hit Sioux Falls mailboxes today, that a reader was nice enough to send me a copy of:

The postcard continues the theme of Jensen’s campaign (which are on billboards across town) talking about the fact he’s running for the office on a message of being “Positive and Proven.”

Unfortunately, not everyone is taking it that way.

Instead of trying to portray herself as being positive or proven, his opponent Theresa Stehly is… Well, let’s just say Theresa is portraying herself as “triggered:”

If Theresa is triggered this early in the campaign because her opponent sends out a single postcard talking about how he’s going to be positive and professional, I suspect she’s going to find it to be a long campaign.

  2. I’m prepared to tackle our city’s budget issues…

    What are these issues he speaks of and how does he plan to “tackle” them?

    Seems Alex is taking a dig at the current city council members.

  3. Teresa has an unique ability to earn appropriate adjectives. Today’s description is immature and narcissistic.

    Can not Alex just summarize his own aspiration with regard to his style without Teresa thinking it about her?

    Can not Alex just summarize a particular past experience of being involved in appropriating and finance he intends to apply in his job as counselor without her thinking it is a slam at her?

    For her to claim this is about her, she is both admitting they are legitimate charges against her and she is a spoiled child who doesn’t like hearing she isn’t perfect.

    Just when you think Teresa can’t make herself look tinier, she surprises you, which is quite a skill.

  6. This is really too bad, it really is. I DO think Teresa wants what is best for citizens of Sioux Falls but, she keeps imploding on every little thing. I really don’t want another clown who keeps using or Tax dollars on $hit we don’t need and I am getting SO tired of all the pet projects we fund that are really not adding any value. Part of me wants her back, another part of me thinks she needs to hang it up as her antics are out of control at times.

    Things some of the councilors have voted for:
    – Aquatics Center
    – New Admin Building
    – Premier Center
    – Bunker Ramp (ugghh the worst)
    – 1.5 Million to the State Theater, just crap pure crap, we DON’T need it
    – Now another TIFF for the for the Former Sioux Steel site, BS

    These politicians think Tax money is something to just throw around and there is NO way any of these Councilors who voted for $hit like this are Conservatives in anyway, shape, or form. THe footprint of government continues to grow and THIS is how you spot a Liberal in Conservative Clothing. My favorite argument is when they trot out the “Financial Gain” we will get by bringing this stuff to SF. All it brings is low paying jobs and tax breaks for the person who builds it. If there was SO much money to be made and it was such a boone, private people would step up and pay for it outfight but, they don’t without taxpayer help and that is NOT Conservatism.

    I am always amazed that Conservatives want to stop subsidizing the poor (I agree) but, never seem to bat an eye at subsidizing the rich. If you think about it, we really should not subsidize anything unless is of national importance. Government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers but, far too often we are.

    2. Agreed, good post and the reason I won’t be voting for Jensen. “Positive” in this case means rubber stamping everything PTH wants. The State donation was beyond ridiculous, they’ll be begging for more money soon enough.

      1. Agreed. I’m sick of the rubber stamps in every level of government. I’ll be voting for Stehly because I want councilors to question things and formulate their own opinions.

  7. AMEN!!

    Both here at home and in DC the “conservatives” have all but abandoned any notion of actual fiscal conservatism. The deficit has continued to explode, we are subsidizing just about every single part of the private sector because of slimy lobbyists getting their grubby paws on our elected officials. Enough is enough, lets pay down the debt and let businesses thrive or fail based on their ability to do so in a fair, CAPITALIST system.

  8. I’m not sure I’d classify as “positive” a campaign that whines about a postcard that doesn’t even specifically name the opponent. Get some thicker skin, I say.

    1. Agreed. I can’t find where it’s negative.
      Victim to bully too bully too victim. She can’t feel it straight. She’s nuts

      1. Who puts, in their political message, “I am not a bully”?

        For some, that statement implies they have been named a bully and they are addressing it. It seems to be a jab (negative material) at someone(s) in particular.
