Ok, if you’re a candidate running for office unopposed, I still expect you to fill out a candidate’s statement for the voter’s guide. This is something that deeply irks me.
When you can’t be bothered with writing a few paragraphs, you’re telling me you take my vote for granted. Um, nope…you won’t get mine.
I believe there is a minimum number of votes a candidate needs in order to get elected, even if they’re unopposed. If so, then getting zero votes, or getting 2 votes (thanks mom!),even without another candidate, would mean you lost. Which I think is appropriate.
My leaving that bullet blank may not inhibit candidate X from attaining office. However, I hope it does. Don’t take your constituents for granted!
