Who are you going to vote for in the mayor’s race?
Voice reporter Shayna Rubin asked
her question on Sept. 18, 2011, in front of Just for Fun on
24th Street.
Jocelyn Colopy, 27th
Street: I am undecided. There are so many
options. I know that Dennis Herrera, Ed Lee, and Jeff Adachi
are running. I just haven’t made a decision yet.
Richard Downing, Jersey
Street: I like Bevan Dufty, but I am
leaning towards Dennis Herrera. I like what he has done over
the years as city attorney. I support his opposition to the
central subway. That should be stopped. But my vote isn’t
locked in yet.
Christian Aldecoa, 25th
Street: I don’t know who I am going to
vote for since I haven’t looked yet. It’s not close enough to
the election [Nov. 8] to determine who I am going to vote for.
Joel Markouits, Jersey
Street:
I like Jeff Adachi because of
his stance on pension reform. But I understand that another
candidate whose name I can’t remember is proposing another
pension reform, so we’ll have to see.
Shannen Dettmann, Valley
Street: I haven’t figured out who I am
going to vote for since I graduate from beauty school in five
weeks. As of now, I am just focused on skin care. I know
nothing about the candidates now, but I am generally very
politically aware, so I am hoping I will have it figured out
before I graduate.
Shannon Wentworth, Duncan
Street: I think I am going to vote for
Bevan Dufty. He has a lot of experience in politics as a
supervisor, and he is a really good guy.
Nick Freeman, Topaz
Street:
I haven’t decided who I am
voting for yet. The only information I have heard about the
candidates has come from the other candidates, so I don’t
trust what I hear. I know the most about Ed Lee, he has the
most name recognition, and seems to have more of an
administrator kind of approach. Everything he has done has
been okay.
John Mcknight, Dolores
Street:
I am voting for Ed Lee. I like
his humble approach. He is a local politician and I know he
will be a good mayor for city workers. I like his homespun
politics.
Meggin Kearney, Clipper
Street: I have no idea who the candidates
are. I’ve only been here a year and a half. The candidates and
the election are not really advertised anywhere. Usually we’re
bombarded with information, but I don’t see a lot of ads.
Richard Mullen, 23rd
Street: I think I am voting for Bevan
Dufty since he was a good District 8 supervisor. I also like
Ed Lee, as he seems to be effective and low-key. In general, I
am looking for someone who is going to get stuff done. I want
our mayor to be pro-business and solution-oriented.
