Ward by ward results. Do these numbers indicate which even wards might be ripe for a challenger in 2019? Ward 8 for instance?

Truly is. She seems to have no greater interest than herself, blaming everyone else for anything she can and claiming they are trying to destroy her

Interesting; I think he is vulnerable in his ward but I also could see him and/or Roddy making a run for Board President... I believe that race is in two years. (I've also heard Reed has indicated he may not want to run again for that position.)
I think he had to be convinced to run for reelection last time, and obviously it was a very close call with the climate in the City at the time. I feel like things are slightly better now, but it is possible that Conway would run for President of the Board, especially if Reed retires. Conway's dad was mayor of course, and he has to be ambitious to some extent.STLrainbow wrote: ↑Mar 09, 2017Interesting; I think he is vulnerable in his ward but I also could see him and/or Roddy making a run for Board President...

^ can you clarify who had to be convinced to run for reelection last time... Conway for Alderman? Can't recall how close that race was.
He was obviously up for reelection shortly after Ferguson. How I have heard the reckoning, Slay convinced him to run for reelection so that he would still have a supporter on the BoA through the rest of the term. He ended up prevailing by about 90 votes over some former mayor of a town in Tennessee being supported by the same people that supported Green and now Jones.STLrainbow wrote: ↑Mar 09, 2017^ can you clarify who had to be convinced to run for reelection last time...

^ Thanks; I didn't realize the Conway reelection race was so close but then again looking at the actual results, with so few overall votes cast it was maybe more of a modest win as opposed to a nail-biter. That raises the question of whether the dynamics may be a bit different in odd-numbered wards, where Alderman have to compete in higher turnout races as they are held at the same time as the mayoral race, and even-numbered wards, which are not and typically have lower turnout.
McKinney btw seems like a nice guy and is currently the Ex. Dir. at SLACO; not sure if he has any plans for elected office.

This brings up something else. When the BOA reduces in 2021 - will odd and even wards still be on different year election cycles? Was the bill only regarding reducing the size of the board?STLrainbow wrote: ↑Mar 10, 2017^ Thanks; I didn't realize the Conway reelection race was so close but then again looking at the actual results, with so few overall votes cast it was maybe more of a modest win as opposed to a nail-biter.

Ideally we would move municipal elections to the regular general election, but in practice it is hard to imagine the elections not staying when they currently are. So yes, I do believe that odd number wards will continue having elections in the spring after the presidential election, along with the mayor's race, and that the even number wards will continue holding elections in the spring after the midterms, along with the president of the BoA.

Don't know the merits of this case at all, but man this was tragic
Lawsuit blames St. Louis alderman in crash that killed pregnant 15-year-old

Jada Williams was killed about 9 a.m. March 6, 2014, while riding in the back of an Acura driven by Bryan Green, who sped at least 60 mph through a stop sign at Lafayette and Compton avenues and struck a Ford Focus and then a tree. The car was split in half, killing the Cleveland Junior Naval Academy sophomore...

Good to hear he'd rather fill buildings than tear them down.

Special election for Ward 28 is next Tuesday.
I went to a candidate forum last week. Steve Roberts did well, but a deal breaker for me was that he thinks the development at Delmar and Kingshighway with the Aldi and White Castle is an accomplishment worth crowing about. That's the kind of development pattern that's bankrupting us.
Everyone thinks Heather Navarro will win.

Aren't the Robert's the ones that did that development? One just needs to look a few blocks north on Kingshighway to see what the style of urban development the Robert's family favors. Voters please choose wisely.

8th Ward Alderman and Chair of the Appropriation Committee Steven Conway will be the new City Assessor. After his extremely close primary win in 2015, it seems pretty likely that he would look for a landing spot. I imagine that the Democratic Primary in the special election to replace him is going to be extremely contested.

Oh thank you. I didn't follow it and the city website still lists the position as vacant.

I've literally never seen more people complain about the way canvassers talk to them than people in Shaw.
I've tried to pay attention and figure out who I'm going to vote for based on issues, but people who advocate for both candidates spend their time accusing people on the other side of carpet-bagging, mansplaining, harassment, etc.
I'm going to the candidate forum. Whoever has more reasonable supporters is who I'm probably going to vote for.
If I had to guess, I would say the previous poster must be on NextDoor. Facebook conversations about the 2016 presidential election appear educated and civil compared to some of what happens there. I moved to Shaw a little over a year ago and had my first exposure to ND then and quickly got off.mjbais1489 wrote: ↑Jan 29, 2018I've literally never seen more people complain about the way canvassers talk to them than people in Shaw.

Anyway, if the number of political signs in yards is any indication, the race looks fairly close. In reality, it generally appears that the hardcore supporters of both candidates (a minority of the district) are resorting to social media name calling on various neighborhood platforms. It's interesting that people are taking such a strong stand for either candidate when they have virtually the same platform.
