To vote for commissioners early would be premature and unwise.
Except for the ongoing dialogue about the Human Rights Ordinance -- about which most people have long ago made up their mind -- the political campaign continues to be tame so far. No candidate forums have been held, so for most voters names like Douglas, Mahrle, and Hargan are just coming into view. Only incumbent commissioner David Poulton has measurable city-wide name recognition.
There will be forums and news reports and blog-comments about the four candidates for the three commission slots. That information may affect your vote. Get to know more before voting.
