Gamers in politics

I've been doing a lot of work on game designers' articles on Wikipedia in the last few months - just noticed a few of them have something in common.

First of all, I wrote the Clark Peterson article before I ever realized he was a judge.

John Nephew of Atlas Games was also a city councilman in Minnesota - turning the redirect into an article is on my to-do list.

Yes, I understand... and I think I've just bumped into the board's rules so I will stop there.

I'm a city councilor in Cottage Grove, Oregon... but I'm not a famous game designer yet. (We'll see how the Kickstarter finishes up first.)
