I am not voting for Andria Thomas. She endorsed Brianne Nadeau because she "loved the example she set in pumping breastmilk for her newborn from the Council dais during a lengthy public hearing."
That's a dumb reason to endorse someone.

Mendelson endorsed Bonds because as a Senior, she understands other seniors.
It goes on and on.
