It seems to be all but certain that voters in one of the most competitive races in the state will set an historical milestone when they elect a new mayor in November. Which milestone that will be, however, has yet to be determined.

Democrat Juanita Perez Williams received the support of 35 percent of likely voters in the poll, while Ben Walsh, who’s running on the Independence and Reform lines, was at 28 percent. The rest of the field (…) all registered in the single digits.

Well, it's one way to get the cities to vote for a non-Democrat.

Good. I think he has energy and intelligent ideas, not the same tired old garbage.
