I have said it before.
It’s not a game. Running for office is not a game……Don’t cheapen the office by running just for the sake of running and distracting from those who have a clear understanding of what they are doing and are qualified to run.
The deadline for filing has passed. Some individuals should consider dropping out of the race. If you can’t follow the law, you shouldn’t run to make the laws. Sue Lovell may not have an appointed Treasurer so that may be the reason for not filing. Ryan Lee has been running for months but has not appointed a Treasurer. Sam Cleveland has raised $0 and has had some trouble with filing. Woods has filed but the city has had problems with the report.

Mayor. Mayor Turner had a good report. King’s report need to be better. Boykins is not viable at this point. The Fire Fighters Tony Buzbee should quit. Dosls, Houjami, Smith should quit.
Controller. Chris Brown should not be challenged. He is rock solid in his job. Gasca should quit.
District E. Martin had a good report. His challengers haven’t filed and might want to just quit. Lee and Cleveland should quit.
Position 1. Great report by Salhotra and poor showing by the incumbent Knox. Bonton and Provost should quit.
Position 2. Robinson has no competition. He had a great report. Carmouche and Sankar should quit.
Position 3. Kubosh had a poor showing. McClinton had a poor showing. Someone need to seriously challenge Kubosh.
