[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone planning on not voting or voting for very few candidates? After the ZFH and arena debacles, I can’t believe there are still so many status quo candidates but here we are.[/quote]

There are so many "status quo" candidates because most voters in Alexandria don't consider the arena proposal and especially ZFH to be "debacles". If you're prone to catastrophizing these issues, you're in the minority in this city, I'm afraid.[/quote]

No, it’s pretty clear the ZFH and the arena were not widely supported. The issue is that not enough people vote in the primary and the primary is it in Alexandria.

Plus in this campaign cycle there is a lot of non-local money going towards certain candidates. These outside groups hired workers who cannot even pronounce candidates names.  When name recognition is a huge factor in these elections, it can make a huge difference.

PP - I only voting for 1 mayoral candidate and 3 council candidates. [/quote]

I agree about the canvassers.  I had a canvasser for the union that published the slate of city council candidates with Gaskins come to the house yesterday.  I mentioned the controversy about what she was handing me.  She claimed that the city councilor candidates on the handout were endorsing Gaskins as they reason they were on the document.  I just gave up and went back inside. [/quote]
