George,

At the candidates forum, the last question of the evening was whether the candidates had aspirations for higher office. The audience heard two unequivocated "No"s and 1 very squirrelly, what I took to mean "Yes," from David Toscano.

I encourage voters of the 57th to choose someone who is willing to make an unqualified, straightforward commitment to this community.
