It’s one thing when voters show little interest in a City Council election, but what does it say about a pair of challenging candidates who fail to appear for a necessary election preliminary? Questions could be raised about their commitment to serve.
Only incumbents Diane Hervol (District 1) and Shane Arabie (District 3) took time out from their schedules to attend this morning’s drawing to determine their place on the ballot. Their challengers, Travis Mitchell in District 1 and Randall Lloyd in District 3, were both conspicuous by their absences.
Not that Hervol’s and Arabie’s appearance did them any favors. Both drew second spot on their respective ballots. So there’s that. But at least they thought the event was important enough to be there in person. Like I said, how can a candidate even attempt to sway voters to turn out to vote if that candidate is not willing to devote the time and energy to participate in the ballot drawing? Just saying.
