Local elections
Wow, 13 candidates for Mayor, not sure if that is lucky or not! That will split the votes, and boy do we have some research to do to make sure we vote for the right person. Then again, what sort of person is right for this position? This is a question that has a dozen different answers, so whoever gets in will not be the right fit for everyone. But that person has to be the right fit for the city, after all the Mayor has to do right by the whole city based on the Councillors imput. The Councillor you choose has to be the right fit for you and do right by your ward, your community Board member has to be the right fit and do right by the people of your community.
Soozie Bragg - Candidate for the Coastal Community Board.
