He is a very smart man. I'll give him that.
One thing I really appreciate is that, even though he is well known as a weather person, he chose to go after a councillor position first before ever choosing to go after the position of Mayor. (if ever)  
A city and it's voting tends to lean toward a mayor that spends time doing other work first (for the city) rather than just trying to be mayor as "that weather guy". 
 
I wish him all the best and I hope he does well!
