Well I stopped and voted on my way into work this morning.
I was there at about 6:50 and was number 15 in my precinct who had voted this morning. I hope as always that there will be a good turnout. I try to keep the site fairly neutral so I wont say who I voted for. My ward gets to choose between Jeff Huch and Brad Oberkfell.
When selecting a candidate I tend to weigh out the negatives/positives they have on an individual basis and then weigh out what their impact will be on the council as a whole. I see two individuals that have what the feel are the best interests of the community in mind, I truly think the feel they do. I then see two very different possible impacts on the city council. I'm still not sure which council impact will be best for the long term health and future of Columbia.
Is it too early for someone to start doing their homework and paying attention to what the city is facing to run for office in 2013? A lot depends on this elections outcome. Plenty of claims were made and regardless of who wins, I plan to hold my new aldermen to their campaign promises. I hope all of you do the same.
