E3-128 The credulous mayor

It seems like we are approaching a candidate for mayor for every day left in the election.

Basically, Cope, in their eternal wisdom, has decided to run Stephanie Allen, an activist and a housing advocate.

And past podcast guest.

And past podcast guest.

Absolutely.

Yes, friend of the pod, Stephanie Allen.

I mean, by that standard, it's friend of the pod, Ken Simms.

We haven't had Pete Fry.

Or did we have him for like a short little thing? We did.

We had him on for a

very short little thing.

Yeah.

It's like, I like Stephanie.

I like her politics and I like the frame she brings to it.

And this is like, Cope embraces Yimbyism.

in a way, as much as they will.

And so it's cool.

I think Stephanie would be fantastic.

It just feels

late.

It does.

You know, and certainly there's been a lot of disorganization amongst the parties, and particularly on the left, in trying to figure out exactly who's running and what they're going to be running for.

But apparently the grand cooperation agreement results in three candidates for mayor all running against each other.

Listen,

they are going to watch the vibes and see whose vibes are best.
