The story of a man who just wants to help save his city

There is a man who was raised in the City of Detroit. As a young boy of 3 his mother was murdered and then 4 years later his dad committed suicide because he could not find a job and could no longer take care of his family. He was ultimately raised by his Grandmother who took care of him on her monthly social security check.
He could have easily went down a really bad road in life. He ended up going to college and getting a degree in journalism. For the past several years he had worked as a TV anchorman on a local station and also worked as a newsman on a local radio station. He was paid very well for both jobs.
This past year he resigned from both jobs to run for City Council in the City of Detroit. This is a huge sacrifice because if he wins the seat he will not start the job until January 2010. Meanwhile he has no viable income until then. I'm sure he has a savings but, to give up a very lucrative career for something that you could win or lose is amazing. This man believes in his city and wants to do everything in his power to help make it better for everyone around him.
BRAVO! Charles Pugh you are a delight.
