Meh, Mar's ok, but certainly not one of the most effective Alderman. He's obsessed with policing and law and order issues, which is fine but he's not been particularly effective in other areas. Plays up his role as a swing voter on many issues in a highly divided council.
Zak Pashak - the guy who runs Sled Island Festival and owns Broken City is running against him. He's got some interesting ideas, but hard to say if he'd be effective as an Alderman. It would be hard to defeat Mar, he's got a lot of money behind him. In his election win in 2007 over Madeleine King he spent more than twice any candidate in an Aldermanic election has in election history.
