Chris's observations about the primary election

"As I reflect on the events of the last few months that led up to the excellent results of the recent primary election, I am grateful to the people who have made pleasant my first campaign for public office. 

In my campaign announcement I talked about the concept of staying out of the stinkweed and staying on track toward achieving our objectives as a city.  It means that I hope to not invest either your time or mine looking backward or trying to assign blame for previous decisions or results.  I remain committed to that objective.

It has been fascinating to observe how constituents make decisions about candidates and issues, and how perception can become reality.  To encourage perceptions to be as accurate as possible, I’d like to share with you some of the things I’ve observed during this campaign.
