Two of my seats are open, we have two candidates running for city council on the Sanders cottails. Here is what is gobsmacking...we actually have an establishment type with a business PAC supporting him.
We have the same issue with the Mayor...indeed he started that one...and he is the republican. Our elected offices are supposedly non partisan...it's fantasy.
And this is too much inside baseball.
But think about it...we have two openly progressive candidates running for the city council of the 8th largest city in the US on the Sanders platform
I shall start my interviews of anybody who wants to talk to us, both R and Ds in a week...when people start paying attention. Otherwise we all are wasting our time. That is when we hit six weeks before the election.
