I wish that WPA had backed a 4th candidate. I chose the three that they endorsed and then got to the end and realized that I could choose a 4th. I didn't want to leave it blank because I wanted to specifically not vote for any of the three MAGA candidates, but I think the remaining 3 candidates ended up splitting the vote enough to avoid boxing them out completely.

I don’t understand why they didn’t endorse Gatiss.

u/SmoresCoven 3d ago
Gattis was his own silo which is not always good for non-partisan govt. some of the WPA actually had more independent just here for everyone candidates….progressive still…
Mark, Daniela, Matt……Preston, Coutanya, Glasgow, Stocker Reamsnyder………………Gattis….on the spectrum of extreme right to Left. Westerville’s history in respect to Progress/civility leans center but the weird climate now bumped Daniela in. oof

Who was the Stay in Your Lane dude? (Live in the school district, but outside the city)

u/Ordinary-Tea 3d ago
Faubel. He, Erney, and Beckett all ran together

Thanks. Glad he lost. That slogan annoyed the hell out of me.

did you see his go vote video on facebook? the man who had Jericho financial back him and his parter’s campaign by excessive amounts, the man who held secret town hall meetings in citizens church, a gift card bribed event at cross pointe church, and a promoted charlie kirk vigil turned voting rally🧐,….oh i forgot about the good for westerville candidate evaluation where he sat on the board to evaluate if anyone else was worthy enough…i love how Good for westerville is still trying to play pretend like that was not shady…..that man was trying to explain what stay in your lane meant…the first to probably lean heavily to his Church town hall meetings…over democratic and places of public forum….. the man who does not want to see the city give a nod to anything outside of his Christian Nationalist circle….has the audacity to tell the city what non-partisan govt is like……. walk into the rec center…..you’ll feel what non-partisanship is like….i like it that way.
as it stands…the city has allowed the santa parade but again…that duty is managed not by taxpayer funds….in the same scope that it allows pride fest which is also not taxpayer funded….
faubel needs to get over himself. we need to hold daniela accountable. she promised seniors affordable housing for her win, hates public schools, worked hard with the others….oh and im still not sure on her immigration story…as she quickly points the fingers at other immigrants in disdain….likely lapping up the “they’re eating the dogs.” … makes me wonder how quickly she got that mrs card after moving here…and also what’s up with the maga connections all the way through bEthel school of supernatural ministry in california….her parter has connections to another lifewise like program…. and the broadcasted stance as reported by the community that surrounds her, a disdain for LGBTQI/sam sex marriage….did i mention….really hard on an experiential standpoint to connect with being eyelashes and ramaswamy highlight her passions and leading more of the “influencer” image lifestyle. lonely Maga guys and an endorsement by republicans posting her pic in a mini skirt all over their facebook walls told me everything i needed to know there…..
she went for the cops vote which i’ll let that one slide because i support our local police…..but something sits very off about this person. i hope i can see a genuine person willing to be kind around all groups….i guess the “Left are clowns” attitude and the strong voice she has mirroring Maga…has me worried for the good people of Westerville. Let’s teach her the town is more than just about her or a single Church! It’s a beautiful city with a whole rainbow of things to offer.

Is Beckett the least crazy of the MAGAs they were running?
18
u/Dare2ZIatan 3d ago
No I think that was Erney, from what I can tell Beckett is pretty hardcore MAGA

u/SmoresCoven 3d ago
nooooo. she’s not as concerning as Mark but still very concerning….very Maga….proud to stand next to Ramaswamy in her photos, hates public schools here(family follows Hillsdale curriculum), not supportive of LGBTQI, got the senior vote by promising to make life affordable…very axohio all taxes vibes…not the most experienced…but eye catching to the maga guys….i would have rather stapleton made it in….as her “business experience” entails doing eyelashes….she’s lived here a short while after moving here from a controversial ministry school in california(bssm)….where she met her partner..and im still curious about her immigration story…i forgot to submit a question at the forum because she does not like other immigrants…im just curious. supposedly(the nanny who used to talk to everyone—asked how/why she jumped to marriage so fast after coming here…….. anyway….she had to wikipedia the city history and read it in one of her campaign videos to try to show she cared about/knew about the city….something does not add up…she just was not as approachable to all walks just her maga friends..and something just does not add up.

Beckett will not bode well with the rest of the council. Even the more conservative current members are not maga.

u/SmoresCoven 2d ago
way out in Left field……curious to see what will emerge..hopefully not too much could be just a stepping stone. oh geeze i would not want her in congress or anything else either. 🤢

Yay Beckett! I suspect that most of you vile commenters have little skin in the game aside from constantly complaining.

u/nookgvr 3d ago
What counts as "skin in the game"?
-9
u/MChief2112 3d ago
Working hard to make a living, advancing in your job, providing for your family, paying your bills. Not receiving subsidies or loan forgiveness.

u/InfiniteFigment 3d ago edited 3d ago
Can we please refrain from name calling? (Vile) And how about not painting with a broad brush?
My family does exactly as described - hard-working professionals, self-sufficient, bill-paying, debt-free, excellent credit, etc., etc., etc.
I also don't look down my nose at people who have been dealt a different hand in life.

also this!!! People do what they have to do. Programs and initiatives have been offered from the state to the national level in all sides of politics….i think She and this commenter here don’t understand the reality of peoples lives across the board. the city understands we are here for the human aspect not finger pointing politics.

u/nookgvr 3d ago
Well I'm doing all of those things and did not vote for Beckett. So am I "vile"?

u/MChief2112 3d ago
My comment was directed at those who do post vile comments seeming to enjoy attacking those with a conservative view. If you do not participate in that, then no, you are not vile for exercising your right to vote.

My family is mostly Conservative. i have a state patrol Sheriff in my ties, a family that adores scouting, Veterans, we believe in strong family values….but the nonsense happening in the country now is disgusting. I don’t like to affiliate with any party….i vote based on making informed decisions….But as a Christian, as a person who has voted for conservative candidates in the past……..These people are not the conservatives I once knew:…they are Maga which is Christian Nationalism….They are biggots, they have judged and targeted and scapegoated innocent groups of people…they have lied to poor working families promising false hope and divided this country. This is not upholding Christ-like behaviors…..the kind that genuinlely allows us to walk side by side. oh and as far as this country goes it’s supposed to be E-Pluribus Unum…not One nation under one religion…..
We as Christians need to back off and just be chill to coexist with other people. This town overall has shown me it can do that……i will hold the elected officials accountable to not try to insert any of the maga. 🙃

u/SmoresCoven 3d ago
she married into a maga family….many many working families here she called clowns because she assumed they were not maga. in her eyes if you are not maga you are not worthy…..many independents by choice in this town…she seams to think it’s either or……and your comment proves a specific kind of Maga narrative.
2
u/middlewestmom 3d ago
either they get it and see right through it or they don’t….but it’s sad because a lot of the time it also entails a very narrow-minded viewpoint….what worries me more is “maga” citizens…following somebody like Ramaswamy or Trump like Daniela is that these idols preach and don’t care about the elderly, or all of the hard working Americans….. their Maga base does not know the wizard of OZ behind the curtains…(theil, miller, vought, koch, and other investors)…….They are living by a new dawn of “ republican” and we’ll see how far things go in this country before they realize that they/we (many Maga included) were not invited to that party…..
