Hugh Holston vs Jamilla Pinder vs Denise Roth vs Richard Beard vs Irving Allen vs T. Dianne Bellamy-Small
The first four are all reliable establishment tools--it's just to which varying degrees. Holston was called out by Crystal Black earlier this year for sitting on the report on brown water in Southeast Greensboro. Besides that, he has been pretty uninspiring in the four years since he was selected to replace Michelle Kennedy.
As a principle, I cannot pick Pinder due to how the oligarchs have now determined that pre-election appointments are their preferred method. I mean, Roy Carroll spent the summer offering her prime billboard space at the Battleground/Wendover intersection.
Please refer to my primary election post on the case against Roth.
Then, there's Beard. George Hartzman uncovered that Beard may be unaffiliated in name only as a way of winning votes.
At least one of these four will be on the next City Council. That's the bad news.
The good news is that voting for Allen will at a minimum prevent an establishment sweep. If one is inclined, casting a vote for Bellamy-Small (if one wishes to do so) would make things a bit more uncomfortable for the oligarchs.
