One candidate is running to protect his City Council seat, while the other is hoping to win it back. Here’s how they compare on issues faced by Shandon, Rosewood, Five Points and across the city.
“There’s been this mentality we’re only ever going to be so good when we’ve got so much untaxable land being used,” says one candidate for City Council. “Frankly, that’s been a poor excuse for a long time not to grow.”
Half of the council seats are in play, and the ballot will feature a mix of candidates seeking first-time election as well as familiar faces, including a former councilman hoping to reclaim his old seat.
