George,

It's probably too late to make your list of endorsers, but for the heck of it I would like to say that hardworking Alexandria gets my vote. Among her many other strengths and concerns, is the fact that she seems the most outstanding and thorough-going environmental activist in the group. I think city governments everywhere increasingly need to hear the cautionary and creative voices of persons with this as a compelling interest.

But most of the other candidates have also shown a keen environmental awareness. What a blessing to have them, and what luck to have you among us facilitating so much stimulating and valuable discussion!
