When asked what his political plan is, Vice Mayor Herbert shared, “I’m running for mayor.” He impressed by the way he conducted himself during the launching. Very executive-like, he answered authoritatively and showed a future-looking insight. You’ll never detect he once played Captain Barbel’s weakling alter ego. Well, almost. After the launching proper, he acted gay for a quick second to make those present laugh.
