I will now cast my vote for Matt Frumin and encourage all who haven’t voted yet to do so. I have known Matt for many years. He is deeply rooted in the community and has
worked, often quietly and without fanfare, on many W3 issues such as affordable housing and school reform. He will reflect Ward 3 values and serve honorably on the Council.

That's a pretty tepid endorsement. Frumin worked for Cheh, and the best she can say is that he is rooted in the community and will serve honorably? Yikes.

I am not sure what you would have her say. She handpicked Duncan and it blew up in her face, so she went with her next best option in a spur of the moment comment.

A “spur of the moment” half-hearted endorsement of a guy she should know well? It sounds like she’s frustrated into having to do it and would prefer to support anyone but Frumin.

I don't think she dislikes Matt at all, she is probably just upset that Tricia (her preferred candidate) decided to drop out, maybe even without consulting her first. Frumin, Cheh, and Duncan, all had pretty similar policies.

Yes it has. But it seems that the toxic anti-Goulet energy is more likely an offshoot of a certain YIMBY types you see on Twitter who come here for an orchestrated campaign.

It was too late a month ago. But it was really said that Bergman, Duncan, Finley and Frumin couldn't figure it out. If Goulet wins, we can blame their egos for that.

Got that one wrong . . .

The ballots are printed and people have already voted.

The Post story said 2,325 people had voted in the ward already in person, and 16,000 had voted by mail citywide. Let's say 1/8 of the city is in Ward 3. So that's 4300 Ward 3 voters who have voted. There are 84,000 people in Ward 3. Still a lot of voting to do.

It'd also be good to continue to have a woman on the male-dominated council, that is.
