      I imagine there are at least some Adams voters out there who thought a “law and order” candidate would be totally different this time because he was black

        Probably should have voted based on the content of his character. Never mind they’ll have another chance to do that in four years time. Although having said that he might be up against someone whose character is even worse.

            I am hopeful we can get him out. There are candidates that will primary him and with ranked choice there is a good chance to get rid of him. At least, I hope. We’ll see.
