Curious as to your rationale for endorsing three Republicans in district races but no call on changing council terms.
Sure… Though I included the names of unopposed candidates (i.e. Martin), those candidates are not endorsed. Just listed for information. I did not make a call on Council Terms because I am genuinely conflicted on whether or not it is a good idea. We definitely lose accountability by decreasing the number of elections, and I’m not convinced that the trade-off of getting more done is worth support of the measure.
