County Commission LWV Debate
The LWV put on a great debate last night. It was well attended, well organized and the topics were great. My thoughts on who presented themselves and ideas the best.
Diego and Shalee - I think this is the tightest race, both seemed to have good, well thought out responses.
Rory and Neal - Definitely Neal! Rory kind of blundered, spoke more on the fact he is self funding his campaign, which if you look at his disclosure $35,000, donated by his father. Besides that Neal was well spoken, great answers and seems fairly middle of the road. Rory didn’t come off as a great option in my mind.
Mike and Everett - No contest here! Everett crushed it. Mike is a nice guy, but he seemed off, confused, and kept riding on the fact that he is from Moab. Everett had real answers, and spoke with confidence and directness. Not a huge fan of Mike to begin with so maybe a bit biased, but in commission meeting he always just regurgitates what the other three say and when he had to speak for himself in this setting he didn’t really have anything intelligent to say.
Winder and Wiggins- Both did a good job. Wiggins I think pulled it off in my mind as Winder is a great speaker, lots of fluff, but in the end I thought Wiggins spoke truthfully, thoughtful and has real world knowledge of Grand County.
Good event LWV!
