MB elections could be a nail-biter.
Dear MB Residents,
Don’t think that just one vote won’t matter. In the last election, Councilmember Joe Franklin squeaked into office with a mere 88 votes more than his opponent. The fight in that election, like most elections, was between the Establishment Right vs the Establishment Left (Although they like to pretend it’s always a non-partisan election. Baloney).
This election is different because RESIDENTS got involved. Residents, fed up with the decisions made on the School Board and City Council, called for a change in leadership, and 4 “ordinary people” stepped up to respond to the call.
This election is between New Voices vs the Old Guard.
The Old Guard, including the current and previous Councilmembers not even on the ballot, are stumping hard to keep the status quo. They have more money and are more connected, but so were the folks behind Measure A.
It comes down to the MB voter and his ballot.
