Campaign #239 is for Sue Zwahlen in CA
While every year presents an array of challenges to our cities’ leaders, 2020 has done so by the truckload. We’ve seen local elected officials modeling courage and problem-solving in the shadow of a pandemic. While partisanship has no place at the table when it comes to following the advice of scientists and medical professionals, we’ve seen plenty of examples where it has. Republicans often blocked mask mandates. They repeatedly ignored advice against gathering crowds. Many times across the country, they refused to pass ordinances to limit certain businesses’ hours in the interest of squashing the transmission of COVID-19. Republicans have not always heeded the call of reasonable, preemptive public health and safety measures.
Whether you live in a city led by Republicans or not, we’re all at risk from a patchwork of inconsistent and unwise local government responses to the pandemic. It is with this in mind, that we have yet another reason to care about the outcome of local elections.
That brings us to our next #PostcardsToVoters campaign. We’ve been ask to write in support of Democrat Sue Zwahlen’s candidacy for Mayor of Modesto, California. It is a runoff election scheduled for February 2.
Modesto is a moderate city that is almost evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. Like many California cities, it is plagued with homelessness, fueled by a lack of affordable housing, a growing substance abuse epidemic, and inadequate treatment options for the mentally ill.
