Chris Cate’s Problem Is Mara Elliott
Mara Elliott is a politician. When I met her, I was underwhelmed. She came off as a loony progressive. Her campaign speeches inspired few — she ran as a “technocrat” who failed to attract support from the Democratic insiders. When she defeated her Democratic opponents in the June 2016 primary, I remember thinking that she might win the City Attorney race …
