Give high marks to candidates who’ve shown up
KAMLOOPS — SO HOW TO DECIDE who to vote for in Saturday’s civic election?
A lot goes on behind the scenes that affects the outcome. Door knocking, for example, is one of the most effective campaigning techniques and it tends to be done quietly, almost invisibly.
But there’s much to be said for standing up and being counted for all to see. When sorting through the list, ask yourself who among the candidates has shown up, figuratively and literally.
Because not all of them have. Not every candidate has attended all the election forums or has answered all the questionnaires and interviews.
