Re: Next Mayor 2019
Justus is polling #1 at 15% and Alissia Canady is #2 at 10%, but 34% are undecided. The rest of the candidates are single digits. Poll by Jeff Roe, 500 sample size. Not very reliable, but possibly the only poll to leak?

Re: Next Mayor 2019
Any new Rag takes on the race? I've attended two forums and listened to the Northeast one online and I'm convinced we're still in for a Justus/Lucas match-up.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
I am wondering though how long it will take for the polls to adjust to the Paseo renaming issue. From what I'm hearing, a lot of Old Northeast residents who were supporting some candidates have now switched support away from any candidate that voted for the renaming. People are really pissed off over how it was done, and they will be deliberately voting against people who might have traditionally had their support, but voted for the renaming. It certainly has hurt Justus, Reed, and Lucas here, and helped Canady. I'm seeing movement back to Wagner, and some of the non-council candidates.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
What a stupid issue to pivot on. So many issues facing this city and your going to change your vote over the name of a street?

But isn't the airport working out as planned-ish?

Re: Next Mayor 2019
Development and affordable housing - Lucas seems very passionate about this. I appreciate that. However, I do not agree with some of his proposals, such as a 15% affordable unit minimum that will greatly stymie new development. Justice seems more pro smart-development to me.
Don't really care about the street name. Waste of money to re-name it. I think the DUI may hurt Lucas even though it seems like a minor issue (he was sleeping in the car). The Canady parking video (https://fox4kc.com/2016/08/26/kansas-ci ... ired-tags/) imo is a huge blemish on her - seems so entitled & ridiculous. Plus even more radical positions that Lucas on development.
If Shields is enforced by both Kander and Sly that seems like it would shift the race hugely in her favor.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
I think my biggest issues are pushing for the return of historic tax credits from the state, transportation funding at the federal level, successful navigation of the KCI redo, and job creation. I saw that Steve Miller had Tim Kaine at one of his events recently. He also has state MODOT experience. I don’t know if any of the other candidates will have significant influence for those issues at the state and federal level.

You mean the lower-than-average-turnout Northeast? Or some new and powerful voting block we haven't heard of?FangKC wrote: ↑Sun Feb 10, 2019 10:07 pm I am wondering though how long it will take for the polls to adjust to the Paseo renaming issue.

Polling will be hard to come by. The Star won't do it, and you'll only hear internal campaign polls if it's super good news for one candidate or there's a leak.

Yes. Was typing fast when at work.
Shields is literally the worst. I will vote for anyone BUT her.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
Your point is well-taken. I'm just reporting observations. Residents appear to be organizing to do new voter registration, and planning to go door-to-door.DaveKCMO wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 7:49 pmYou mean the lower-than-average-turnout Northeast?

I don't underestimate intent anymore. We've had enough surprise elections to discount upsets.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
So here's my biggest question: Is anyone here supporting Steve Miller?

Re: Next Mayor 2019
It has nothing to do with the literal significance (or insignificance) of the name change, and everything to do with the disregard for the people's (and their constituents) opinion. Why would ANYONE vote for someone who won't represent them?
Besides, if they can't get such a minor, "stupid" issue correct.. Then how are you going to be able to trust them to run a city.. With all its complex, major issues??
A: You won't trust them, because they've shown their incompetence.
