[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most observers say four candidates — Marcus Goodwin, Christina Henderson, Ed Lazere and Vincent B. Orange Sr. — are best positioned because of their higher profiles.[/quote]

I don't know much about him but I'd say about 90% of candidate signs in my Ward 4 neighborhood are for Marcus Goodwin.[/quote]
Almost like big money is betting on him 🤔[/quote]

What is Goodwin's story, beyond being a developer?  I feel like I've seen his name on various yard signs for years in the last few elections.  What stopped him from winning before?[/quote]

I sat on a call with Marcus Goodwin.  I did NOT like him.  He seemed too young and inexperienced.  He didn't really know what he was talking about.  Not impressed.  [b]I know lots of folks in my Ward 4 neighborhood are supporting him.  He must be in with the Mayor. [/b] It seems like they follow whatever she wants.[/quote]

I'm the Ward 4 PP that also is seeing a lot of signs for him.  I wonder about this.  It does seem many homes that had Todd signs now have his signs.

If I voted for Janeese Lewis George, who among the at-large candidates should get my vote?  I like Robert White well enough.  I haven't looked into the other candidates' resumes yet.[/quote]

Janeese endorsed Ed Lazere and Robert White FWIW[/quote]

PP here, thanks!  I'll look more into Lazere (I heard him him call into the Kojo show a few weeks ago and he seemed reasonable, but need to look at his resume).[/quote]

I talked to him once and he was really knowledgeable on the issues - very deep understanding and I believe he's ethical too.

Not as charismatic as Janeese, but I could see him being a force for good in the council.[/quote]

I went to grad school with Ed and just have a ton of respect for him.  He's a little too progressive for me on some issues, but I have no doubt that he can be reasoned with.[/quote]

I know that feeling. [b] But things that felt like "too progressive" are things that I came to realize were in the right direction.  Like Janeese talking about reducing crime by funding things other than police[/b].[/quote]

Exactly! We need fewer police, and more violence interrupters[/quote]
