We all want to get rid of our current Mayor and the Mayor's race is usually decided in the primaries (there is a general election but our city is like 9-to-1 favoring the democrats). Eugene Young is probably the youngest of the Dems hoping to unseat incumbant Dennis Williams. Young also use to work for Booker. I swear if Young brought Booker in to stump for him he'd probably win this race. Currently we are worried Williams will win because of too many candidates in the primaries.
