The alternative candidate was the incumbent Rick Duncan. Very experienced and knowledgeable. In my experience, he always made principled, well-informed decisions; although he placed less weight on our comprehensive plan policies than many of us (including land use attorneys) do.

This was a pure gender power play by Piercy, Syrett and Zelenka. I support recruiting qualified woman (and other under-represented groups) to serve on boards and commissions, but to replace Duncan with Nicollelo was just one more of Piercy's inane actions that mis-serves our community so she can bask in the glow of some feel-good, token act.
 
If you want that to continue, vote for Piercy's proxy, Lucy Vinis.
