Crystal, unfortunately for you, you will be lucky if you garner a thousand votes. You probably should have considered running for ward councillor before throwing your hat into the mayoral race. Unknown's never get elected mayor in this city.

The mayor is just one vote on council, just like a ward councilor. It's easier for an unknown, underfunded person to make a mark on a ward level than it would be to put the organization together needed to run city wide.
