ReplyDeleteThanks for this Carole! Question, do you happen to know the status of the rest of the races that were unopposed? ie Which wards had new people running unopposed, and who they are, and which had incumbents running unopposed, and who they are? Interested in seeing how the whole picture for next years is shaping up. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteMonica--This was the Democratic primary, so it only determined which candidates would appear on the Democrat line in November. Several of the candidates have been endorsed by other parties, so despite a loss in the primary, they will still appear on the ballot in November. At the end of March, I published a list of all the candidates who had filed designating petitions. That list can be found here: https://gossipsofrivertown.blogspot.com/2021/03/a-preview-of-this-years-local-elections.html. For example, although Michael Hofmann will not be the Democratic candidate for city treasurer, he will still be on the ballot in November as the Working Families Party candidate. The same is true for Tiffany Garriga and Rebecca Borrer should Dominic Merante maintain his lead after the absentee ballots have been counted.
DeleteAnd if Dominic Merante does not maintain his one vote lead after absentees, he will still be on the ballot on the Conservative Party line.
DeleteThank you Carole!
DeleteDominic also has an independent-body line (a "home-grown party") called People First.
ReplyDeleteIn the uncontested races, is there a chance for a write-in candidate or independent (if a small party can get the signatures or maybe it’s too late, not sure). Some better options would be nice
ReplyDeleteYes. In the general election in November, there is definitely the opportunity for write-in candidates. It's too late for an "independent-body line." I'm told the deadline for that was May 25.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks!
