Today's video is for the 3rd District, featuring incumbent Republican Tom Didier and Democratic challenger Christian Nagel. As a point of historical interest, the 3rd is the district served by Mayor Tom Henry when he was on the council. Henry represented the district for five terms between 1984 and 2004, losing the seat to Didier.
And a note on the video: There was a glitch in Didier's taping, so I had to ask him to come in again. To keep the playing field level, I invited Nagel back, too, and he accepted. These, then, are the only interviews where the candidates are doing it for the second time instead of just having seen the questions.

I suppose the incumbent will win in a stroll, but I have to give the challenger points for brevity. I hope Didier doesn't drone on like that at Council meetings.
Honestly, I can't stand anybody on City Council. Despite the part-time nature of the job, the only thing both parties can agree on is that Council members should get Cadillac health insurance coverage at absolutely no cost to themselves. If they really want to cut the city's costs, there's a pretty obvious place to start.
