Topic: Pegeen Hanrahan


  
 [No title]
Pegeen secretly encouraged my participation in her campaign, despite the fact that she knew that anyone associated with City Hall or with this newspaper will run, not walk, in the opposite direction when I or my name appears.
Pegeen clearly seemed to be the best politician I have met in local and state government in Florida during the last 20 years.
Pegeen seems to have the form afflicting those who believe that if you don`t see race or mention race, race will not be an issue, or to put in another way--not everything is fl or white.

 Pegeen Hanrahan, mayor of Gainesville, Fla., answers questions | Grist Magazine | InterActivist | 18 Oct 2004
Of all my names, Evyleen is my favorite, but when I wanted to call myself that as a child, my grandmother said, "Everyone deserves their own name, and that one's mine." She was a great lady who emigrated from Ireland shortly after the Irish Revolution.
She was a bit of a revolutionary herself, and would say things to me like, "You haven't seen real pain 'til you've seen the blood of your brothers running in the streets." That would tend to shut me up from making further complaints.
When I first decided to run for office, I called the chair of the local Democratic Party and she said, "Oh, Pegeen, this is great, this is wonderful, now we have a problem with your name." But I think it's more a help than a hindrance in politics.
