One of the first planks of the platform of Democrats for Change is providing for the direct election of the Mayor.

If you have comments about who should be Charlottesville's next mayor and why, please send them to george@loper.org and the most representative will be posted.

If you have predictions about who will be Charlottesville's next mayor, please send them to george@loper.org and they will be posted after July 3 when the vote is taken.

Perhaps by that time, the Democrats for Change will also have made decisions about their future role within the Charlottesville Democratic party.

To date, Charlie Gleason, Will Lyster and Lloyd Snook have made comments.
