[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Nextdoor is the ultimate echo chamber. People who spend too much time there are likely to be caught off guard when Peterson comes in third. I think a vote for Jackson may be more effective.[/quote]

Agree that Nextdoor is awful. But it was a long thread, with a lot of people chiming in on their mayoral vote. Most people (100+) said they were not voting for Gaskins or Jackson.

Don't vote for someone because you think the lesser known new guy has a small chance.
