石丸伸二氏、東京都知事選立候補者 Mr. Shinji Ishimaru, a candidate for Governor of Tokyo

広島県安芸高田市の前市長です。

私は同市には数か月前に足を運んでみましたが、のどかな良い場所に思えました。(4/25投稿済み)

彼は財政再建などに実績を残し、劇的に改革したにもかかわらず、旧態依然とした、パソコンも利活用できないような古い地元議員との折り合いが悪く、僅か一期で自ら辞職しました。

田舎では珍しい京都大学卒で、前市長が選挙違反で有罪となった時に地元に戻って市長になりましたが、古参の議会メンバーたちが結果的にはこの有能な市長を追い出しました。

彼の市長就任後、彼の公式YouTubeチャンネルは登録者が激増。登録者は26万人超と、東京都も上回り、全国自治体トップになりました。

安芸高田市、広島県にとっては有能人材の流出で、実にもったいないですが、将来ある石丸伸二氏にはベターな選択でしょう。是非、知事選挙でも頑張っていただき、沈滞した日本の現状に一石を投じてほしいです。

ポピュリズムに乗って、メディアやメディア関係者を悪用しながら、首長としての基本的な資質の無い立候補者が全国に現れていますが、これは悲しい現象です。

He is the former mayor of Akitakaa City, Hiroshima Prefecture.

I visited the city a few months ago and found it to be a nice, peaceful place.

Despite Mr. Ishimaru's achievements and dramatic reforms, including financial restructuring, he resigned after only one term because he was unable to deal with the old local council members, who were old-fashioned and could not even utilize computers.

A graduate of Kyoto University, a rarity in the countryside, he returned to his hometown to become mayor when the previous mayor was found guilty of electoral fraud, but the old council members ousted this capable mayor as a result.

After he became mayor, his official YouTube channel saw a dramatic increase in subscribers. With over 260,000 subscribers, he has surpassed even the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and become the top local government in Japan

It is a waste for Aki Takata City and Hiroshima Prefecture to lose a talented person, but it is a better choice for Shinji Ishimaru, who has a bright future ahead of him. I hope that he will do well in the gubernatorial election, and I hope that he will throw a stone at the current stagnant situation in Japan.

It is a sad phenomenon that candidates without the basic qualities of a chief executive are appearing all over the country in the wake of populism, making wrong use of medias and/or the media related persons.
