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.

it might be a dumb reason to endorse someone, but you're doing the same simple minded thing by using that as the sole reason not to vote for someone.

Mendelson endorsed Bonds because as a Senior, she understands other seniors.

It goes on and on.


Did you read the endorsement? There wasn’t much else to it. Mendelson didn’t endorse Bonds solely because she was a senior.
