I s'pose if one *needs* an ebike. I've been told I need one, but I've gotten along just fine without one basically forever.

Or, we can coalesce around one candidate and force the other into the β€œoutsider” lane?

This sounds like the Cornell-Rheingans 2022 dilemma, i.e. not good. Splitting the vote would be beneficial to Ream. Hope one of β€˜em drops out.

Her filing came just one day after Ryan Bartholomew’s. Any connection?

I also find it telling that ElNel is showcasing him, and a bit odd that he shifts from first to third person.

Well, there’s this. Sounds like he’s on board with A2P2’s aspirations. Still, his interest in local politics remains a bit of a mystery, at least to me.

If she's truly concerned with eradicating stickers, tape, and graffiti from lampposts, she should talk to Elizabeth Nelson.
