Well, a little shake up on City Council that no one expected over the last month. Republicans "selected" someone for Amy Murray's seat and a member of council, Tamaya Dennard, resigned after being charged with bribery, but has now been replaced. All the while a primary election was cancelled due to COVID-19.
So, nothing much to worry about. The delay in the primary puts off any campaigning and fundraising and really little else is going on outside of how self consciously one is about drinking alone while physical/socially distancing,
I don't know if other candidates are going to use this time home to develop campaign strategy, but that may be the only thing possible for City Politics.
