The new Davidson County Democratic Party’s website has a Voters’ Guide to the upcoming Metro Elections. The Guide contains biographies and responses to our Issues Survey. The candidates’ responses are unedited except for formatting for consistency. All of the mayoral candidates submitted responses to our requests and many of the Metro Council candidates as well. The page is found at http://www.davidsondemocrats.com/elections.html

We have received good feedback about the information from the community and would like for more people to know about this resource.

Any hamster this large deserves to be Vice Mayor of Nashville.

I personally gave special consideration to both John Summers and Ronnie Steine. In the end, I thought Summers’s occasional tendency to invite controversy (witness his bringing up the overlay issue again so shortly before a successor would have to be elected in his district) merited some more measured voices. And, frankly, Steine has served 2 full terms at-large already. I’m all for experience, but I think two of the new voices we endorsed make up for experience with freshness, and three of them have experience that will more than make up for the lack of learning procedural chicanery from Ludye Wallace that might’ve been gleaned from years in the courthouse. Steine can be an effective public citizen without needing to be back on the council.

I appreciate your picks, but you left out one of the most progressive candidates on the ballot, namely, John Summers.

Check out his record. We need his experience on the Council, especially when it comes to protecting our neighborhoods.

I’m just trying to get a visual here. For example, how would a Key to the City presentation go?

Mary you don’t want to talk to me about the democratic process. My hampster would be better for the people of Nashville than anyone on the Vice Mayors ballot. I have heard two of them at several events and was not impressed at all.

There has been nothing fair about this race. There is no democratic process in Nashville. Why does it take LOTS of money to win any office in this country?You should not be allowed to spend more on a race than you would make in one year in that office otherwise you have either bought the office or you owe favors. This is a fact that has been proven over and over.

In the mayors race we have candidates running that the voters really do not know anything about and in the at large race we have so many people running that it is impossible to know about them all so we are going to go in andpush buttons and hope we have voted for the best group. Don’t tell me to get out and go to the forums because I have been to over a dozen and I have been to about 5 picnics trying to meet the at large candidates and I still haven’t seen them all and I have a little over a week left.

What are people that have not been to anything and all they see is what is on the TV or in the newspaper? The media really needs to be more responsible………. Just my opinion.
