Jon Grant is a first-rate council candidate (I don't disagree with one word of the Weekly's description of him) but given the horrendous political climate in which we currently find ourseives, under a president whose open, unfiltered contempt for women and people of color (Latinas/Latinos in particular) is unprecedented in modern political history, I believe there is an obligation to support members of those groups for public office in EVERY instance unless there is a truly compelling ideological reason not to. Mosqueda, like Grant, is solidly progressive, as the Weekly freely admits (as does the Stranger).  Therefore, for me, in this context, she is the clear choice. In the Obama era this race would not have been as easy a call, but those days are sadly over for now. Vote Mosqueda for Position 8.
