Yes, City Council President is an at-large seat, distinct from the district seats.

I highly doubt it, Zeke is only looking in one direction and always has been and that is up.

it would be stupid not to install a close ally in your old seat, that's a vote you need if you win CCP

A candidate running for higher office has one goal and that is getting elected. Why would they risk alienating voter by endorsing someone who may be a political liability to them.

I guess by that logic politicians would never endorse other politicians, but that's not what happens.

Endorsing an allied successor and helping them win means more power as CCP and a better chance at setting yourself up for the next upward step.

Mark Parker is running for Zeke's empty seat. I've met him on several occasions at his charity events (buying backpacks for grade schoolers) as well as see him at local events like the lantern parade. You should really consider voting for him.

So is Liam Davis. He currently works at DOT and has a lot of experience working in different areas of city government. He announced that he’s running on Twitter the other day.
