So interesting split here. If it was just NIMBY, as in "no big apartment buildings and keep single family zoning" Jawando is your guy. But he would absolutely put in more bike lanes.

I don’t think he would go out of his way to add bike lanes. If someone else proposes them he’d probably go along unless there was a lot of pushback. He did get endorsed by Somerset in part because he was the only one who engaged with them on Little Falls Parkway.

He was endorsed by two of five current members of Somerset government. Three did not endorse him. He spun it as endorsed by the whole town...which is shady.

Right of course. Towns can’t endorse people but elected officials who make up the town government can. It was very telling that across the county those officials overwhelmingly went for Glass and Jawando.

Glass: Endorsed by 10 current local office holders.
Jawando: Endorsed by 5 current local office holders.
Friedson: Endorsed by 9 current local office holders.

Not counting county council or state offices. Several have former local office holder endorsements. This is sourced from their endorsement pages.

How many of those were in Friedson’s own district? It looks like Friedson has a problem there. It doesn’t seem like he did a great job representing his constituents.

Vote Glass or Jawando.

I would think Glass would be the bike lane guy. He seems to be a fan of traffic gridlock, hence his stupid idea to make every intersection no turn on red. I really hope whomever wins rolls back no right turn on red.

That's a BOE issue. Not CEX.

It still natters

If it matters so much, I guess that anti-Jawando PAC ad was on the money -- all the problems in the school system are Jawando's fault because he's the chair of the Education Committee.

That's what Friedson is desparately hoping people think instead of pinning him with the negative effects of his development initiatives that undercut school funding.

💯. Jawando is doing the work and has skin in the game when it comes to schools. Others not so much.

That is a flat-out lie. Jawando is contacted on school problems, but can't be bothered to show up, much less return an email. Evan Glass shows up.
