There is a city election coming up. Richardson residents must choose the office holders for City Council and, for the first time in many years, Mayor. The election will be held on May, 11 2013, but early voting will start as soon as April 29.
Most of the positions are unopposed, but the Mayoral position is up to the voters.
As an advocacy group, Bike Friendly Richardson does not have any official endorsement for any of the candidates. However, as cyclists, we were concerned about each candidate’s position on cycling issues. We sent each a questionnaire covering several bicycling topics, and many of them sent in their responses. We’ve posted those responses here so that Richardson cyclists can have a perspective of who they are voting for.
Don’t forget to vote.
