Do these poses make a statement?

Commission candidates Sharlan Douglas and Jeremy Mahrle provided these unconventional photos, rather than head-and-shoulder shots for their candidate page. I asked them whether they had jointly planned the parallel pose and if they were making some sort of statement. Each provided a humorous reply which did not answer the question, and I put the matter aside.

Since then, though, readers have questioned the poses and have recalled that the two arranged for Patch to photograph them together at the City Clerk's counter when they turned in their signatures.

On first thought, and on second thought, the question seemed trivial.On third thought, readers wonder what this apparent closeness between Sharlan and Jeremy might mean civically/politically when the commissioners gather at The Table, if they both win.
