They have been so engaged since they joined elective public service. For each policy or deed, they consider, consciously or not, its impact on votes.
Mike Rama called out in open session of the City Council Friday, January 5, for Edgar Labella to report back to City Hall (bringing not just his body but his body and soul no less) and lead hands-on the campaign against the pandemic. He stopped short of asking, Edgar, tell us how physically fit you are. Mike only said, You know your own self. You know what to do.
