Hey folks. Just want to make sure South Enders are aware that we have a competitive Democratic "primary" (see below) for our City Council South District seat THIS SUNDAY. Yesterday our longtime City Councilor Joan Shannon announced she is not running for reelection.
Burlington doesn't actually have primaries, we have caucuses. You have to register for the Burlington Dems' caucus by THIS FRIDAY. I'll put a link below. Burlington Democrats who are registered voters are encouraged to participate. See the link for the details.
On a personal note, I have a very positive impression of both candidates stepping up. I had a great conversation with Romeo recently and hope to chat with Buddy soon. I'm also thankful to Joan Shannon for her many years of service for our community.
FYI the caucus is run by the Burlington Dems town Committee, by statute, not County Dems, so I'm not in charge, and it is not an enviable task! 💙
