I'm liberal but leaning towards voting both R candidates. The D candidates are much less qualified or fully absent, probably just banking on that D by their name. At least Murray and Hasher aren't MAGA idiots, have actual thoughtful responses addressing real issues like opioid crisis, crime, and the city wage tax, and took time and effort to do any campaigning. Murray in particular sounds like a reasonable and intelligent person who has been involved in his community for years. Both have campaign websites, while Vaughn's is nowhere to be found and Harrity sounds like a jabroni who just happens to know some currently elected Dems. I know the Rs don't stand a chance but I'd support them winning and kind of want to show a protest vote anyway. I'm still voting for most other D candidates.

I appreciate this comment, I usually vote Democrat but I am open to non-Democrat candidates. I didn’t feel like this interview really helped me make a final decision. I agree about Murray, I took a look at his website and I like his stances.

Murray immediately answering a question about inequality with "we must privatize more schools" is a total non-starter for me. plus having your solution to crime be "I will simply yell at Larry Krasner until he does broken windows policing" isn't an actionable policy, it's just something that will make certain residents feel good while improving the lives of nobody.

I'd rather another corrupt democrat than someone who will shake up the status quo for the worse. if there's a green or wfp candidate I'll probably vote for them though.
