But Debbie Spielberg is running in district 1, and she is his long-time employee. Both when he was at council and for his entire term as executive. He definitely wants her to win.
Don't know about the others but my guess would be Izola Shaw for district 3 and Josie Caballero at large.
What is Josie Caballero's experience to recommend her for the county council? I have not heard of her previously.
Josie’s professional experience and qualifications are basically summed up as being a professional progressive activist and trans. She also served in the Navy for a few years.

Let's hope not.
What's wrong with Yang? I don't know anything about her, but every time I drive through district 1, there are Yang yard signs everywhere.
Did you not see her performance as BOE President? Pretty much an audition showing that she would be a compliant part of the machine. Definitely not what we need.

I had to laugh when I heard west county residents talking about Friedson as if he is a shoe-in. I live east of Connecticut Ave and I have yet to see any outreach from him. Somebody should tell him that we do vote over here.
Friedson may be lucky to win his own district.

Interesting to see he’s the only one who wants SROs back in schools.
