If I were to summarize them I'd say two are about not stealing/openness, which is presumably targeted at the incumbent.
Two more are about lower taxes, and one is about spending more on snow removal. Those seem like opposing ideas to me, which I find a bit concerning in terms of being realistic.

I just hope there isn't a massive split between Tyers and Wyness that somehow allows Magliocca to squeak in. Wyness still seems to be the more unanimous choice in my searches today, even though she has seemingly been quiet thus far. She did finish a fairly close second to incumbent Magliocca last election who was then without scandal. I'm going to watch the proceedings very closely before deciding on Tyers or Wyness.
At this point, Magliocca probably figures he has nothing to lose by running again. His re-election announcement hopefully refreshes the memories of those who may have forgotten about his ways over the past 24 months and gets them out to vote for an alternate. His announcement has pissed a lot of people off as I think there was some assumption that he would not have the audacity to run again. He is quickly deleting all negative comments about his re-election announcement from his Facebook page, and as usual not responding to any media requests for interview. Such a deplorable.
People also need to reminded that he refused to comment if he vacationed out of country last Christmas where it was widely reported he was in Cabo San Lucas while most of the populous remained grounded due to the pandemic.
