Meet The Candidates Night

Well it was a great turnout of candidates tonight hosted by the Uptown Neighborhood Association.. I counted 24. The weather was not at its best so the public turnout was quit dismal. Just in case you want to know who took the time to be there, here is a list of the candidates that caught my eye. If I missed your favorite candidate and you know they were there please say so, and be sure they were not left off the list intentionally.

Mayor; Doug England, Mayor Garner and Larry Scharlow

City Clerk; Lisa Curry, Jennifer Mayfield, & Marcy Wisman

Council at Large; Richard Berryman, Valla Ann Bolovschak, Jack Messer, Kevin Zurschmiede, Tonye Rutherford and Shirley Baird

Council District #1 Theresa Timberlake

Council District #2 Pete Lyons, Harry Harbison and Bill Schmidt

Council District #3 Maury Goldberg, Steve Price and Charlie Harshfield

Council District #4 David Aebersold, Pat McLaughlin

Council District #5 Jameson Bledsoe

Council District #6 Jeff Gahan, Dick Stewart and Sam Anderson

Of all the candidates that I met for the first time tonight, Theresa Timberlake made a very good first impression. She seems to be honest and sincere. She was very friendly and a good conversationalist. Running against the incumbent Coffey, she will have to grow some thicker skin.

Pat McLaughlin in the 4th District race was there, too. Wouldn't it be fair to edit your post to reflect that, even if you did not get an opportunity to speak to him?

Yes you are correct, the thought of doing so never crossed mind. I will make the addition.
