I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor.

You don't have to swallow frogs. Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.

I usually give electeds a lot of leeway because that's a job I wouldn't want to do and there are probably dozens of things going on in the background, but Sen. Schumer and anyone voting for the CR are not reading the moment and I'm hopping mad about it.
