[LD22exec] city council - Is this on our radar screen?

[debbypattin at thurstondemocrats.org]

I would say that we should stick with a candidate who has already been
approved for campaign services and whom we can identify as a Dem.
I am hoping that the council members themselves will be in agreement with
us, but I don't think it would hurt for us to express those feelings.

What do the others think?

I sure would NOT want JBS to apply and get accepted, given that she didn't
even bother to host, or attend, her precinct caucus in 2006, even though
she was the PCO. Didn't send a proxy, either. No show, no proxy.
