when City Council vacancies occur, they are not filled by special elections.
Instead, they are filled by the remaining City Council members of which only
three are elected citywide. Further, the City Council does not announce who the
finalists are. Further, there are no candidate forums. Ten applied recently to
be appointed to fill a West District vacancy. What if a special election had
been held? What if candidate forums had been held? I was one of the ten
applicants. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes
hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that I would not have won a special election
because I am a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic,
Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), gun owner, 100% German American,
draft avoider, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, and even worse
things and b) that West District voters are the following and want to
represented by someone who is the following: anti-Trump, anti-Protestant,
anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-White, anti-male,
anti-older people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders,

(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Appeasement of bullies ‘will not work’ A pro-family activist who works to
expose the truth about homosexuality says the fast-food giant is making a huge
mistake by appeasing radical LGBT bullies. LaBarbera, Peter “Already the
homosexual lobby is demanding that Chick-fil-A establish a non-discrimination
policy at its company,” says Peter LaBarbera, founder and president of
Americans for Truth About Homosexuality. “They’re going to demand that
Chick-fil-A sign onto the HRC Corporate Equality Index with its radical agenda
for corporations. They’re not going to let go of Chick-fil-A; they are the
political bullies of the century. “They’re going to demand more
concessions and they’re going to continue to call Chick-fil-A hateful,” he
emphasizes. “This appeasement strategy will not work.”)
