Boston has a city council election today. It's a "preliminary" election, which is like a non-partisan primary, for a bunch of at-large seats. It's easy to find out which candidates approve of bike lanes and which want them ripped out. It's not that much harder to find out which one supports Trump. It's remarkably hard to figure out how any of them regard ICE or sanctuary-city policies. I did find a candidate who wants the city to clear snow and ice from old people's sidewalks as a safety measure, but Vicki is sure that's not a figure of speech.

Ballotpedia knows we have mayorsl and city council elections, but doesn't have a lot on the city council candidates: https://ballotpedia.org/City_elections_in_Boston,_Massachusetts_(2025)

A few candidates filled in a questionnaire from the site, but only a few. I got to that by looking for information on Boston, rather than entering our address.

Do you suppose the LWV is getting their address data from the gas company, and thinks we're in Brookline?
