Since tomorrow is the preliminary city council election, here’s the rundown so far on where the at large candidates stand:
I would make some endorsement or comment on the issues at play, only so far the candidates for the most part haven’t really engaged issues beyond the level of generality. Besides, this vote is merely to cut the field of 15 down to 8; I’m not counting on more than 1 or 2 surprises in the elimination tomorrow. I do hope Kevin McCrea makes the initial cut, if only to keep the race interesting and to keep housing and development issues at the fore.
In city council news, I’m quoted in this week’s Dorchester Reporter in an article on the lack of a black candidate in the at large race. It’s an interesting article - apparently African-American political leaders made a conscious decision not to field an at-large candidate this year, so go read it. And while you’re at it, check out their profiles of the at-large candidates as well. And vote tomorrow.
ADDENDUM: Larry Davidson has more info on the preliminary election, including the mechanics of "bullet voting."
