Would love to see Greg on council, but I also love Dan Stewart.
Just a few small spelling corrections, it’s: Reyahd “DJ” Kazmi and W. Shawna Gibbs
Thanks. The press release was in a terrible PDF format that wouldn’t allow for easy copy & pasting so the names all had to be retyped on the fly. Fixed!
Go Catherine!
Mr. Kazmi is morally questionable, and has no regard for his peers, but only for himself. He would be a horrific choice.
I would love to see Kevin Boyce and Liz Lesner on Council.
Is Duffy McSweeny the code name of Jim Sweeney?
Why isn’t Jim Sweeney on this list anyway?
So many great candidates and lots of familiar names of people I admire, trust and respect.
Catherine Girves, Greg Schultz, Ian MacConnell, Kimber Perfect and lots of other wonderful folks I’d love to see on Council.
Maybe some of the candidates that aren’t appointed will run in the primary this May? I hope so.
Go, Schultzy, go!
Yay, Joe Stefanko!
List now narrowed to 18. Interestingly, the D shows which sitting members picked each candidate.
