  Issues I never thought would come up in a city council race
I just had my first conversation with a concerned voter about my positions on everything from G-d given rights, separation of church and state to Gay Marriage and abortion. She was considerably more conservative than me. I tried to find common ground on issues surrounding individual liberties and inalienable rights, but I don't think I won her over.

Oh well. I could have talked for an hour about city budgets and housing, but that was obviously not her cup of tea.

I will say that I am highly impressed that she is taking the time to call candidates and ask their views. I wish more people would do that.
 
Comments:
I wonder what she thought a city councilor can do about those issues? Or was it a matter of finding someone who matches her beliefs to vote for? That wouldn't be easy in Blue Mass.
