On November 3rd, 2015, the people of Charleston will do something that has not been done since 1975: go vote in a mayoral race that won’t have Joseph P. Riley, Jr. on the ballot. For this historical election, I decided to research the candidates to discover more about them, and determine who were my top choices and who I felt needed one more four year term before winning the hottest seat in town.
How, in a city that is heavily stratified by race, income, and history, can one man remain in power so long and remain so beloved? We say thank you to Mayor Joe Riley for forty years of service.
Highlights of last night? Clouds, balloons, #twitterception, a coyote, new tracks from Elise, and presentations by Sully Sullivan, Ayoka Lucas, Marcus Amaker, Nathan Durfee, and more. All that here
