She’s not necessarily out of contention for me, I’d pick her if strategically it might help avoid the worst two and I wouldn’t hate it if she got another term, I just find her kind of uninspiring and milquetoast, and a bit weak where it matters.
Without picking apart every thing, I just don’t have any confidence in her. She’s been the mayor and I still don’t really know what to expect (she acknowledged late last year that “people just don’t know her yet” but like… what’s changed in her approach to giving people that insight?). She’s done some good things that I really agree with even if unpopular (rezoning, her handling of the water issues, etc) and some things I really don’t (arena, ineffectiveness dealing with the UCP) but I struggle to find a through line where I can say “right, this is who she is and this is how she operates.”
A lot of that is just my own perception. I don’t think she’s a failure or as bad as some people say by any means. But I do think there might be a better option out there.
