No, I'm not an associate of Lacy and I don't work for his campaign. At the top of my post, I did write that I think Lacy's done an excellent job. I wanted to be up front about that so Mrs. Crisp ( u/CrispforCouncil) would understand where I'm coming from when posing those questions. I'm not committed to voting for Lacy in this election. In any race for office, I vote for the person who I believe will do the best job even if that means voting out an incumbent who I've liked.

I want to learn about Crisp's vision for District Four and the city, how she would navigate the adversity she may face on the city council, specific tasks she wants to accomplish on the city council (and what the costs and benefits would be), and whether the methods she proposes to accomplish those tasks are allowed. It would be disappointing if she was elected and then prohibited by state law from accomplishing the things she set out to do. I know most of the questions are tough, but they aren't unreasonable, and her answers will help me decide whether to vote for her.

Also, the reason I'm asking these questions here instead of blindsiding her with them in person is because I want to give her the opportunity to think about the questions and compose thoughtful answers instead of having to answer them on the fly. I don't think I'd be able to give well thought out answers to tough questions like these on the fly, so it would be unfair of me to expect her to do so.
