Zach Sam/brano is running for Place 5, currently held by Glea/son. Sam/brano is currently on P&Z. He’s generally progressive and lefty.

Jude Pra/ther is running for Place 6. Melissa Der/rick has announced that she’s stepping down. Markey/moore is also going for this same seat.

Pra/ther was part of the conservative development-happy bunch that gave us the Woods and other turds-in-the-punchbowl, along with Shane Sc/ott. I believe he was voted out circa 2015. So the pendulum is trying to swing back again.

Tis the season of declarations. I recently got a mailer for Mark Rockey/moore, running for Place 6, which is Melissa Der/rick’s seat.

Markey/moore was on council until last November, when he lost to Shane Sc/ott. I wasn’t watching council regularly, so I don’t have as firm an impression of him as I would like to. But he presents himself as a very progressive guy.

Der/rick is one of our strongest councilmembers, though, and ideologically in the same boat. Does this mean she’s not running? That would make me really sad, although I could understand if she’s getting burnt out on the job.

Anyway, stay tuned for more announcements of who is running…
