[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I've got my list, and plan to vote early tomorrow.

Mayor: Peterson (will absolutely not vote for Gaskins or Jackson)

Council (if I have to vote for 6 - I may vote for fewer):
Elnoubi
Aguirre
Chapman
Lewis
Greene
Scherer

Will absolutely NOT vote for: McPike, Harris, O'Connell, Bagley, or Huskey.

I am inclined to vote for Peterson but does he actually have a chance?

As much as I dislike Jackson, I would far prefer her over Gaskins, so I do not want to vote for Peterson and end up with Gaskins because I did not vote for Jackson.

What do you and any other PPs dislike about Harris, Bagley, and Huskey?

I was thinking of voting for Chapman, Bagley, Huskey, and possibly Harris — not because I like any of them particularly but because I dislike all of the others so immensely. It’s difficult to keep track of each candidate’s positions on every issue.

FWIW, I am pro ward system and anti-: Justin Wilson, arena/stadium, Duke Street in Motion, and Missing Middle/zoning changes.[/quote]

I think Peterson has a good chance. There was a LONG Nextdoor post on this, with a lot of people saying the same about Jackson and Gaskins, and sayigng they plan to vote for the new guy.

I think the people who likely to show up and vote in these local elections are the ones paying attention, so he has a good shot.

My negative votes on Harris, Bagley, McPike, O'Connell and Huskey are two-fold. 1) we need new voices in the council. And 2, on a specific (not necessarily local) issue they voted against, that I think speaks volumes about their character.
