Well, this election was a bit of a bummer. \u00a0Though, everyone seems pretty excited that 16 did not pass, and I am glad that dropping money into a misleading campaign doesn’t always pay off. \u00a0And yet, with the passing of 14, I am worried about the implications of private campaign funding, as well as turning the General Election into a run-off election of the top two vote recipients from the Primary.<\/p>\n
If the new change in the election process has inspired anything, it is an earlier Kate Slate (at least two weeks in advance?) and to ensure I host slate parties again for upcoming elections. \u00a0Stay tuned for a General Election slate party in October.<\/p>\n
