Hi Hudson,
It’s primary time! Local offices. I know, it’s June, and it’s not on many people’s radar. I sent every local primary candidate a few questions. I will post more as they come in. You can read them here.
In full transparency, I threw my big-brimmed hat in the ring for 4th Ward Councilmember. Jenny Belton and I are running unopposed, so no primary.
Have fun today, Hudson!
