Thoughts on the election? [View all]

I’m not terribly excited about the mayoral race; Bowser and Catania seem pretty similar, and Schwartz doesn’t seem to have a chance. I’m somewhat hoping Bowser wins just so we can get her out of Ward 4 (and maybe have Rev. Hagler take her place).

For the at-large race I’ve been supporting Silverman, who’s a good progressive. It’s going to be tough, though; White definitely feels like the establishment candidate, and he’s been getting quite a bit of money and now has three councilmember endorsements. White doesn’t seem to be too bad, so I’m not going to be devastated if he gets in, but Silverman is a much better progressive in my opinion and I really hope she wins.

I’m leaning towards Zukerberg for attorney general. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t even be having this election; the anti-democratic council would have been successful in their efforts to snuff it out. He’s also been a good fighter for legalization.
