Today is election day for cities. I am a candidate for reelction to city council. Beautiful day (weather no excuse) and turnout is running very low, lucky to hit 20%. After knocking on about 500 doors over the last month and attending all sorts of public gatherings. I just don't understand.......people are ill informed and just don't care. Also, I'm amazed. A political newbie, supported by the local Republicans, is spending about $20k on his campaign in a city of 23,000 people. (I spent $2300). Sad that so many have given so much to preserve our democracy and so few care enough to participate and will support the purchase of an office. Not sour grapes, I am heavily favored to win a seat.
