During the first two votes, Seibert's candidacy was backed by Mayor Gary Shaw and council members Ryan Stanley, Phil Stinnett and Doug Lawson.
Diane Reid Adams, Taylor Brown, Melodee Colbert-Kean and Anthony Monteleone backed Cortez.
Cortez replaces Jim West, who recently resigned, and will serve until April 2020.
Very happy to see that the four council members who initially voted for Cortez stuck with it. The 4-4 votes clearly demonstrated the effort by those wanting to create a power bloc and those wanting a new voice for positive change. Congrats to Cortez!
ReplyDeleteHave to say, if they would have placed a white man in this position the ACLU and NAACP would have been knocking at the doors of city hall
ReplyDeleteHave to say, I'm guessing you own a MAGA hat.
Delete6 53 I am sure that is what Melody told them before the third vote
ReplyDeleteSeibert shouldn't even be considered! He was in on all kinds of financial shenanigans, including the illegal actions of Woolston.
ReplyDeleteAnd it doesn't matter what color/race or gender, just that we get someone who truly wants to serve the community and not a special group or anyone else with an agenda.
He is a good person...negative bloggers probably never have step forward on the stage of public service...thanks,Keenan for stepping up..
ReplyDeleteI don't know this gentleman, but I pray he will be an asset to the city council. We need new faces and new thoughts. Best wishes.
