You're right here. But I would also argue that Ward 13 hasn't been negatively affected by her campaigning. As far as I can tell she did nothing for us before, and the trend continues as she campaigns. Its bothersome that she gets the free publicity and in effect gets paid by the tax payer to campaign though.
