I don't love Evans but I wish she had better challengers in this race. I don't think the two running against her are the right pick for what we need right now.
Mandel is way too far right for me. She has an extreme view of the world of education that is out of step with most of the county. It will be good if she loses the primary so she no longer has a platform to spew some of the stuff that she believes in.
Laura Stewart seems to be a nice person but I don't think she has the experience or chops to do much of anything other than to say nice things and be yet another middle aged white empty nest social justice warrior. Some of the stuff she's said in the past is also pretty extreme, just on the other end of the spectrum as Mandel.
I think it's telling that Stewart is afraid of her prior statements that she turned her twitter page to private the day she declared as a candidate. She used that for years to publicly advocate for change in the county but I think it says a lot that she now wants to hide from it. No backbone there to stand up for what she believes, which is too extreme for my taste anyway, but I'd at least like to give her credit for standing up for her ideals rather than running from them when it's politically expedient.
