Another fast one. The incumbent is Nelsie Yang. On the ballot:
Gary is a retired engineer and it took me a while to find his campaign website, so I looked for one on Facebook and found his personal page, which is top to bottom stuff like “[picture of a sad dog] I’m 15 today and I bet I can’t get even ONE SHARE,” shared three times in a row.
He’s endorsed by Republicans, took a strong stance against the Summit Bike trail (he’s at least honest about believing that it doesn’t need the sewer/water lines replaced, either), and says he wants a return to the basics (which he defines as roads, trash collection, and public safety.) He has not filled out any questionnaires and did not show up for the Ward 6 LWV forum. (ETA: the Republican site that recommended him is apparently not official, so I have changed my statement to say that he is endorsed by Republicans, i.e. the people running the site, vs. by the Republicans, i.e. officially by the party.)
Nelsie was elected last time and has been a strong progressive on the St. Paul council. She also showed up for the LWV forum and has filled out all the questionnaires despite not having much in the way of an actual opponent. I would vote for Nelsie.
I have a book coming out this fall, in November! Liberty’s Daughter is near-future SF about a teenage girl on a libertarian seastead. A lot of it was originally published as short fiction in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. You can pre-order it in either book or ebook format from whatever you like.
I do not have a Patreon or Ko-Fi, so if you’d like make a donation to encourage my work, check out this music teacher at Washington Technology Magnet in St. Paul, who is raising money to buy guitars so that students don’t have to share 1 guitar between 4 students.
