Whatever you do, please do not assume people will turn out in droves to vote. City politics has degenerated to it’s current state thanks to widespread apathy. Lewis Reed might be an idiot, but his campaign staffers aren’t. They know that if their election is hushed up, only people “in the know”, translation, picked by Reed, will turn out to vote-for him of course. This is how Slay has won virtually all of his elections. An old saying of the Daly regime in Chicago-”Don’t Make No Waves, Don’t Back No Losers”. The City of St. Louis is currently run by it’s small conservative, and, grin, old, minority. Since you live in Villa’s ward, I’m sure you see much of this with your own two eyes.
