The race in District 5 is between Republican Councilman Art Shad and Democrat challenger Leslie Goller. While Goller has a lot of interesting ideas about the environment and other citywide issues, Art Shad has a good grasp on the challenges facing San Marco. We feel confident he’ll continue working on matters relating to quality of life as well as managing the highly successful economic development that’s happened in District 5.
A lot of nasty rumors have been circulated in this race. Some have made attempts to out Mr. Shad as a homosexual (he denies) and others attack his past problem with prescription medication that resulted from a back surgery (he’s addressed the issue). That kind of smear campaigning should not be rewarded.Â
We feel that Art Shad has earned your vote for another term on the City Council.
