[quote=Anonymous]I don't know how we draw lines in really local races, as the candidates don't really have stances on national issues that delineate left/right wingers (abortion, gun control, ...)

My breakdown is 
Frumin: wants to build more housing in the Ward on the corridors of major avenues (not a total YIMBY though), supports public schools over charters, supports increasing bus and bike lanes especially to get to the new MacArthur HS (which he supports as well)
Goulet: more NIMBY, pro-charter school, has promised to block both the new ES and HS (though it's not something he can really do), not a fan of more bus and bike lanes in the ward
Thomas: probably the most NIMBY, but agrees with the mayor on almost all issues (except he has said he wants to block the schools as well for some reason)

They all want to increase the size of the police force. They all are against the tent cities downtown. Goulet is the only one who supports trying to renovate RFK stadium to bring the commanders back, which I think is a money-hole and terrible idea tbh...

I'm voting for Frumin because I think the Ward needs the new schools. Thomas seems nice and I do like the mayor, but Frumin has more experience in the Ward as well. The way Goulet's campaign has been run would not make me want to vote for him even if we agreed on more things. [/quote]
