We have to keep these things separate to have freedom, and that comes from local people having direct control over our lives.

What someone in a city race thinks about the federal tax code does not matter in the slightest.
It very much matters what they think about potholes, pavement, police, and public transit.

City races are about highly specific community issues. We don't need to dilute those very important conversations with national policy points.
