Who we elect matters. We have major issues facing the city. In addition, day in and day out the council makes decisions that effect the long term livability and viability of our city. And I think we need a council with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints if we want to avoid becoming another Aspen. Some of the people I will vote for I disagree with - but I think adding their voice to the decisions will lead to better decisions.
Please take the time to determine for yourself who will do the best job. And keep in mind, that the best job is not necessarily 7 people you agree with.

Candidate Information:
If I am missing anything, please let me know.
Note: I will not allow comments that have stereotype demeaning statements. You can call someone an idiot - that's aimed at the candidate (it's not nice, but it's directed). But if you demean their race, gender, creed, sexual orientation, etc. that is demeaning of many people and I will not allow the comment. My blog, my rules.
