I can't recommend either candidate in the District 2 race. That doesn't mean either or both is not worthy of your vote, if you live in that district. It just means that neither stands out as the clear better choice.
Until November, District 2 was represented by recalled councilman Juan Rivera. Mr. Rivera had a couple of habits I hope the winner in this race will emulate: he talked to people in his district -- in fact he made his private phone number available to them -- and he drove around the long (probably 7 miles, end-to-end) district to look at sites involved in matters before the council.
District 2 is probably the most diverse district in terms of race, affluence, culture, language and age. It will be difficult to represent well. But I can't point to anything that tells me that one of the candidates will serve better than the other.
