So glad new candidates are challenging the old ones who hated a woman being in office. Mayor Wilson had great ideas blocked just because the council had an agenda against her. Other mayoral candidate doesn't have a college degree and has too much past with good-old boy ways that never repaired things like the sewage system or budget. New council! Keep Karin!

Any body but Wilson will do.

Wilson is one of my top four choices but not one of my top three. There, I said what I wanted in a nice way.

No college degree? Oh my.

How will such a person know to blame sexism for everything if they didn't spend four years learning critical theory with Marxist professors?

Truth be told the “contested” council races may as well be uncontested for the three Bs. There are three real mayoral candidates and the Mayor will be one of the runoff candidates. I can hardly wait for the Mayoral race.

Yep, I can tell you who is on city council already.. With so many new voters since 2016 I have no idea about the Mayoral race.

With a city that has zero debt, upgrades on the rise, and a vision. I see no argument against, other than personal view for our Mayor.

John Manelos is a great candidate and will be a wonderful Mayor. He is committed to bringing civility back to Council Meetings and to improving the infrastructure that was neglected during the time that Sherry Sullivan was with the City. He also is working to clean up the Bay. Because his kids are grown and he is retired, he has the time and energy to devote to the City which he has proven in the past by attending almost all Council meetings for years.

Anyone who has met John Manelos knows he's the guy who can move us forward. I hope people get to meet him.

I remain concerned about Manelos's involvement with "restorative justice." The concept is not without merit, but proponents often use it as a Trojan horse for a radical Leftist agenda--along the lines of the current and riotous dismantling of our civil society in Portland, Chicago, etc.

I would very much appreciate the candidate's clarifying his viewpoint with respect to what we keep and what we throw away, what values he holds with respect to law and order.

I can see from these comments I need to know a lot more about Mr Manelos. Also want to hear both sides about the Sullivan firing. I hope whoever the mayor and council end up being that they would push reset and work together better. They do not need to start campaigning again for years so maybe the finger pointing can stop. Funny, we can end up with 5/6 new people or 1/6. There are many, many new people in town who need to hear the candidates.

S2. Some people are lucky
S3. Ditto, except he would win in the end anyhow
S4. Brown. Not even close to close
S5. Boone. What is the record % of votes received in a race.?

Jack Burrell is in a close race. He might be running a close second. Mr Manelos is a smooth talker. You best not dismiss him. You are right about the other races. I thought all kinds of well known citizens would be running. Where did they go ?

It means a continuation of bad government.
