Joe said No before he said Yes

Ah, the political dance of Joe Williams, a man who initially played hard to get with the seat of D10 Commissioner. After David Landrum, the outgoing commissioner, offered him the chance to step into the political fray, Williams did the classic “no, thanks” move, only to pivot like a seasoned politician when the winds of opportunity blew in another direction. Now, here’s Joe, filing to run, perhaps realizing that in the game of politics, sometimes you’ve got to grab the seat when it’s offered, even if you initially played coy. It’s like watching a chess game where the pawn suddenly decides it wants to be the queen.
